Being a human being means being a very complicated and complex living organism. Each body is unique and as a result, just as the human body is a miracle machine, it can also react strangely in certain scenarios for some people, which others do not notice.
Allergies and allergens are, on some level or other, experienced by more people in the United States than not and, whether you yourself are suffering with an allergy or else it is a loved one you want to help, then you have come to the right place.
With this in mind, continue reading to learn the top four most common allergies in the United States.
1. Wheat
A wheat allergy is not only an allergy which can suddenly develop in children or adults of literally any age, but one which is particularly tricky to successfully manage, mainly because wheat or wheat by-products can be found in more products than just bread.
People with an allergy to wheat, or indeed gluten, should avoid eating (or be careful of ingredients of) the following:
- Cereals
- Instant Coffee
- Noodles & Pasta
- Dumplings
- Hotdogs & Processed Meats
- Vast Majority of Baked Products
- Root Beer & Ale
- Soy Sauce & Gravy
2. Peanuts
Another exceedingly common allergy in the United States, as across the world, is that of an allergy to peanuts.
Essentially, for those with a peanut allergy, their bodies wrongly mistake the proteins found naturally in peanuts to be a problem and intent on harming the system, so exposure to peanuts means the body releases chemicals (causing the symptoms) into the bloodstream.
Furthermore, peanut allergy is not just triggered by eating peanuts, with even direct exposure to peanuts such as inhaling aerosols or dust containing tiny pieces of peanuts is enough to trigger a reaction for serious sufferers.
3. Hay Fever
Hay fever, referred to by the medical name ‘Rhinitis’ by medical doctors and other professionals, is essentially an allergic reaction in the eyes, nose and mouth which results from breathing in pollen from grass, fields, weeds and trees.
Unfortunately, just as with other allergies, there is no cure for hay fever; however, there are numerous effective treatments, although it has to be said that some treatments are more effective than others depending on the individual. You can find common and popular treatments in many places, such as Avamys Spray at chemistclick.co.uk – which is incredibly affordable and you can carry it with you at all times.
4. Cow’s Milk
The final most common allergy in the United States and this time one that is more common in infants and babies, is an allergy to cow’s milk. This allergy is the most common of all in children and affects approximately four percent of toddlers and babies.
Fortunately, however, the vast majority, around nine in ten, young children tend to entirely grow out of an allergy to milk, so avoiding things like butter, cheese, ice cream, yoghurt and milk and milk powders is only a temporary problem.
