Hi there! Nice to meet you!
I'm Libby- a 17 year old who has been dealing with allergies for over 12 years. With research and tips I have learned from over the years, I want to inform parents and teens about staying safe and making the right decisions. This is a project I am working on for a class called Generation Think.
What Are Food Allergies? |
Food allergies are an unpleasant or dangerous immune system reaction after a certain food is eaten. No one knows the cause of food allergies but in recent years they have increased drastically and more than 3 million people get them each year. The eight most common food allergies are milk, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat/gluten, fish, shellfish, eggs and soy.
