Just a little somthing to keep in mind. We are not al born with it.
Allergic reactions can develop at any age, any time
While the number of children with allergies increased over the past few decades, adults awareness of their own sensitivities is growing
Adults are discovering in ever greater numbers that they have serious food allergies, possibly due to exposure to new foods and an increased awareness of food allergy symptoms.
So says Dr. Vincent Oswunda, an Edmonton allergist and immunologist, who adds although most people develop allergies in childhood, adults can still develop an allergy and suffer as much as any child.
“You can start having allergic reactions at any age and at any time,”Oswunda says.
An allergy to sulphites — the chemical additives used to stop food from browning or spoiling — is most often diagnosed in adults, especially in those who already have asthma. Sulphites were recently added to Health Canadas list of the most common food allergens, along with more familiar foods like peanuts and dairy.
