When Allergy Comes

In 2000, Resource Limited (marketing research) to do research in southern England. The result, about 70 percent of new allergy sufferers to know if he was allergic after more than 7 years of experience symptoms.

When exposed to allergens, the body produces immunoglobulin E (IgE) that serves to destroy the substances that are considered harmful to the body. Then embedded in IgE mast cell (tissue histamine-producing cells when allergens enter). The interaction between IgE to mast cells manifest in the form of an allergic reaction which we usually see (skin itching, nausea, or swelling in a specific body part). Not impossible, we just like the people of South England. Wondered why a sudden every morning always sneeze. Yet never before.

Research funded by the German pharmaceutical company, Altana Pharma, which is considered allergy mention emerging as adults was because we did not realize it. Or because there are hormonal changes and lifestyle. Dr. Danche Theno, SpP, allergy specialists from the Hospital Pantai Indah Kapuk, this study confirms.

"Allergies can happen to anyone. The level of risk of an allergic person is determined by genetic factors, environmental, and immune system. If low immunity, allergies easily arise," he said.

There are some common allergy kenis complained about by adults, namely the cold allergy, allergic perfume, nickel allergy (many suffered by women, for example when wearing accessories made from nickel), plant allergies, allergic to alcohol, and egg allergies.

Allergic to eggs, for example, the study says the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research commonly occurs in children. However, there are also adult egg allergy. Whether you eat or are exposed on the skin.

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, allergy-causing substances in the egg is ovomukoid protein, ovalbumin, ovontransferin, and lysozyme. These substances found in more egg whites. These proteins stimulate the immune system's reaction is excessive. As a result, our body produces antibodies against the protein of eggs that are not harmful.

Allergy symptoms will appear a few minutes or several hours after the eggs are consumed or exposed skin. Usually in the form of skin itch and become red, or swollen in some parts of the body, such as lips or eyes. There are also people who had trouble breathing due to eating eggs.

To prevent allergic symptoms appear, consider carefully the food consumed that do not contain eggs. When eating in restaurants, do not hesitate to ask the waiter if the menu contains eggs that had been ordered or not. If severe symptoms arise, for example, acute shortness of breath, immediately to the doctor to get an injection of epinephrine to activate the adrenaline. Adrenaline causes the heart to work harder to pump blood so the oxygen supply increased. Allergy tests are recommended blood tests and skin tests to find out what material in the egg that causes an allergic reaction appear.
