\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA food allergy develops when the body\u2019s immune system overreacts in a protective response to food it senses as a danger. Sensitivity or allergy to certain foods may come at any time in a patient\u2019s lifespan. A reaction may occur from previously enjoyed food that part of a patient\u2019s diet and never presented an issue. Most food allergies occur in babies and children. Food sensitivity is when the body experiences a very mild reaction to food. An allergic reaction to food can also be mild, moderate or very extreme; resulting in anaphylaxis.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAnaphylaxis is serious, life-threatening allergic reaction that hinders breathing and can affect blood pressure and heart rate. The symptoms of anaphylaxis may come on suddenly, and require an immediate injection of epinephrine. Lack of treatment may result in a fatality. This reaction is why some sufferers of food allergies (and allergies to other substances such as bee stings) carry an auto-injector of epinephrine.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
