Question

People with food allergies can safely consume the food that cause allergies if

• A. they only eat those in a small amount
• B. never – they cannot safely consume these foods
• C. they eat the food with a large meal to dilute it
• D. they take an antihistamine first

Answer 1

The correct option is B

never – they cannot safely consume these foods

Allergies develop when your immune system mistakenly identifies a substance such as pollen, mould, animal dander, or food as harmful. That substance is referred to as an allergen. The allergen stimulates immune system cells to release certain chemicals, such as histamine, which then lead to allergy symptoms. Even a small amount of allergen can cause allergy. Antihistamines are the drugs that prevent allergic reactions though they do not cure the allergy completely.
