[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 712, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.bbc.com/news/health-46302780'][B]Why the world is becoming more allergic to food - BBC[/B][/URL] Recent inquiries into the deaths of two British teenagers after eating [URL='https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45731201']sesame[/URL] and [URL='https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-45748522']peanut[/URL] highlighted the sometimes tragic consequences. In August, a six-year-old girl in Western Australia [URL='https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/health/perth-girl-6-dies-from-severe-allergic-reaction-after-eating-a-dairy-product-ng-b88917799z']died as the result of a dairy allergy[/URL]. The rise in allergies in recent decades has been particularly noticeable in the West. Food allergy now affects about 7% of children in the UK and 9% of those in Australia, for example. Across Europe, 2% of adults have food allergies. Life-threatening reactions can be prompted even by traces of the trigger foods, meaning patients and families live with fear and anxiety. The dietary restrictions which follow can become a burden to social and family lives. [/QUOTE]
