The Scoop On Food Allergies

Your immune system retaliates against you —over peanuts?!
That’s the reality for people with food allergies, where even a tiny bite can trigger a powerful immune reaction. These are not just “tummy troubles”—they’re potentially life-threatening.

🔎 Common food allergies:

• Peanuts
• Tree nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
• Shellfish (shrimp, crab)
• Fish (salmon, tuna)
• Milk
• Eggs
• Soy
• Wheat

⚠️ Symptoms may include:

• Hives or an itchy rash
• Swelling of the lips, tongue, and throat
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Shortness of breath
• Anaphylaxis (emergency!)

👉If you’ve experienced any of these signs, don’t guess. Test.

And make sure you have an EpiPen!
