Pet hair, poplar fluff, pollen, nuts, milk - a list that, at first glance, completely incoherently, can go on forever.. However, the majority still understands what connects these disparate concepts, objects and products - allergies.! Scourge of the 21st century. More and more people in the world are faced with unpleasant manifestations of this condition and the mechanism of the occurrence of allergies is less and less clear... Scientists have been studying allergy as a “phenomenon” for decades, but there are not so many reliable facts about it. Moreover, every year there are more and more unresolved issues and new forms of allergies.. One way or another, there are a number of facts that today are already indisputable. Some of them may seem surprising.

FACT 1. Allergy is not a disease. Even though there is a whole range of diagnostics of allergic reactions and drugs to relieve symptoms, allergies are not considered a disease..

The manifestations (symptoms) of an allergic reaction are strictly individual, so even classifying allergens by type of allergy is extremely problematic - the same “trigger” can cause completely different reactions in different people.

FACT 2. Firstborns are more likely to suffer from allergic reactions than younger children. This fact was established by Japanese pediatricians on the basis of many years of observation..

FACT 4. Not every food reaction is an allergy.. Food intolerances are often mistaken for allergies.. However, these are two different concepts.. Food intolerance to at least one product affects one fifth of the world's population. To alleviate the symptoms, it is necessary to undergo an examination and identify the true cause of the problem - whether it is really an allergy or a food intolerance. Again, it is important to know - an acute reaction occurs to the product or to some of its components (especially often problems in this regard arise with milk and dairy products).

FACT 5. Sweden is the only country in the world where " Moreover, people suffering from this type of allergy (and, for a second, there are about 3% of the total working population in the country) can legally receive a disability.! By the way, new " - today the phenomena are common and still lying in the plane of " However, the increase in people suffering from acute reactions to these "
