Example

An egg allergy is a type of food allergy which affects a person’s immune system. The person’s body reacts to eggs. The person may have a skin rash, may not be able to breath very well, may feel stomach pains, and have a very fast heart beat. A person who has an egg allergy lives with this health problem by making sure what they eat does not have eggs or egg products in them. They have to be very careful, by reading ingredient lists and ask for what is in their meals when they go out to eat.
