It may feel embarrassing or annoying but it could be life saving for people who have food allergies. So why are food allergies are on the rise and can they can be prevented?

In real life, his throat may have closed up and an [B]EpiPen[/B], not the Heimlich maneuver, may have been his only chance for survival. And while that classic scene is part of a dramatic comedy, food allergies are no laughing matter. "I'm allergic to eggs, milk, shellfish, sesame seeds, and nuts.
