exposure exactly for this list we’re
taking a look at those allergies that
seemed most troubling around the world
whether it innocently makes you sniffle
or proves to be potentially
life-threatening a ventilator was
physically breathing for the boy who was
on life support to be clear this isn’t a
quantitative list it’s simply a
countdown based on their severity and
familiarity LPS contaminated feldy one
triggers the troll-like receptor for an
important protein in the activation of
the innate immune system number ten
shellfish and seafood we hate to say
that those of you allergic to seafood
are missing out but a shellfish allergy
stems from the body’s adverse reaction
to various proteins found in a mixture
of seafaring animals including crabs
shrimps oysters and scallops do not put
the skillet in the pan unless it is
piping hot and I mean piping hot
although they’re certainly delicious
they can prove mildly irritating to some
with symptoms including nasal congestion
or dizziness among others more severe
indicators can include airway
constriction and loss of consciousness
breathe yes I’m a bit nervous myself
severity varies from person to person
and some may be allergic to certain
types of shellfish and not others the
body is weird
number nine bee and insect stings you
know how your skin puffs up and gets
itchy after a bee sting
yep that’s technically an allergic
reaction coming from the bee venom and
it can be extremely dangerous to some
been quite a brute of a brute of a bee
sting this reactions typically remain at
the site of the sting and many people
experience annoyances like swelling
redness pain or itching while most of us
will just wait it out others are not so
lucky some experience a swollen tongue
intense vomiting and even anaphylaxis
which could lead to death count yourself
lucky the next time you’re simply
itching an annoying bite
number eight penicillin and how did you
get throat I’ve Dumanis pill okay
daelin penicillin is a group of
antibiotics derived from a type of
fungus used to treat various bacterial
infections including scarlet fever and
pneumonia while most of the world
benefits from this amazing discovery
roughly point O three percent of the
world’s population experiences severe
reactions to the drug when the body over
reacts to the antibiotics common mild
symptoms include rashes hives and itchy
eyes but can go as extreme as an
anaphylactic reaction or blue-skinned
his skin is blue and this is typically
treated with an epinephrine shot or even
antihistamines inserted directly into
the body via an IV there’s a lot of
other classes of antibiotics that we can
use when he needs to use them so so it’s
nothing to really be concerned about but
just make sure you know every doctor and
the nurse have your pharmacist knows
that he’s allergic
number seven eggs that’s how you make it
perfect fried egg whether you try them
fried scrambled or even raw like rocky
sometimes there’s no escaping the
annoying egg allergy egg allergies
usually stem from the body’s adverse
reaction to the significant amounts of
protein found in egg whites and yolks
it’s one of the most common food
allergies with as much as two percent of
children in America suffering from it
fortunately most will outgrow the
allergy by the time they’re 16 the
majority will simply have mild symptoms
like a rash or stomach pain some may
experience anaphylactic shock but this
is much less common if you do not
respond you can die and I’m not talking
died in hours I’m talking within 10
minutes if proper treatment is not given
someone can die
number 6 wheat I know quite a lot of
people who’ve got this wheat intolerance
fine a wheat allergy is a tricky thing
as wheat is found in so many different
types of foods and beverages including
bread beer and even soy sauce and some
bran
of ketchup while a wheat allergy is
often confused with celiac disease they
are not the same those with the disease
suffer from an intolerance to a specific
protein in wheat called gluten while
allergic reactions stem from different
types of proteins it’s one of the top
eight food allergies in the United
States and symptoms range from a
headache to difficulty breathing

number five cats and animal dander while
most of the world continues to argue
about cats vs. dogs some are unlucky
enough that they can never even consider
getting either due to allergies some
estimate that 10% of people in the
United States suffer from some form of
animal allergy and cats are twice as
likely to be the culprits than dogs cat
allergies come from a protein in the cat
saliva urine and flakes of skin
otherwise known as dander most allergic
reactions are harmless like itchy eyes
and sneezing but it’s nevertheless
annoying especially when you find the
critters so darn cute it’s always my
stupid neighbor’s cat who’s out here
there’s just what I do number four dust
mites just how clean is your bed well
you might be horrified at things you can
sleep with most of us will cough or
sneeze while dusting but that is not the
same as a dust mite allergy which is
actually much more disgusting than it
sounds dust mites are tiny little
creatures similar to ticks which live in
common household dust they eat the skin
cells shed by humans and proceed to lay
waste in the dust
those allergic to dust mites are
actually allergic to their pouf and one
bite poops 20 times a day you do the
math because there could be up to 10
million in your mattress while most will
simply be bothered by a runny nose and
sneezing severe symptoms can resemble
asthma including nasal congestion and
weezing better break out the Swiffer wow

three dairy products sure votes Remy you
have a wash a large variety of foods and
beverages fall into the category of
dairy products including cheese and milk
among infants and young children a milk
allergy is the most common food allergy
affecting about two and a half percent
of children under three a dairy allergy
differs from lactose intolerance you
what you’re lactose intolerant
an intolerance doesn’t include the
immune system like an allergy does in
addition lactose intolerance may include
simple bloating and gas but a dairy
allergy may cause much more severe
symptoms including vomiting and
anaphylaxis this allergy is made even
more difficult due to the presence of
dairy products in seemingly innocent
products like store-bought caramel or
protein powders number two pollen hey
Troy sneezes like a girl and how about I
pound you like a boy that didn’t come
out right
pollen is a word that most of us fear
especially come early spring when the

17 million adult Americans and more than
6 million children being treated for hay
fever in 2012 hay fever

before we get to our most annoying
allergy here are some honorable mentions
number one nuts tree nuts and peanuts by
far one of the most common and dangerous
allergies around the world nuts can be a
delicious snack to some but a deadly
food choice for others many schools
today are now nut free meaning that no
traces of nuts are allowed anywhere on
school grounds we must specify however
that a tree nut allergy is different
from a peanut allergy as they are
different types of dietary substances as
tree nuts our hard shelled fruits and
peanuts are legumes regardless peanuts
are one of the most common foods that
result in anaphylactic shock and even
death since he was cleared to eat
everything in his peanut free classroom
he took a bite then my tongue got a key
in my lip got swollen approximately 3
million people are allergic to nuts and

allergies tripled between 1997 and 2008
