What are Food Allergies?
A food allergy is an exaggerated immune response triggered by eggs, peanuts, milk, or some other specific food.
Symptoms
Symptoms usually begin within 2 hours after eating. Rarely, the symptoms may begin hours after eating the food. If you develop symptoms shortly after eating a certain food, you may have a food allergy. Key symptoms of a food allergy include hives, a hoarse voice, and wheezing.
Rash
Patch Of Bumpy, Red, Often times a food allergy rash is simply a patch of bumpy, red, or otherwise discolored skin.
Hives
A raised, itchy, bumpy rash that superficially resembles insect bites, hives can appear in small clusters or densely over a large area of the body.
Wheezing
an allergic reaction can cause the air passages in your lungs to narrow. Forcing air through the narrowed airways can make a sound like an accordion.
