Food allergies are on the rise in the United States, currently affecting 32 million Americans. Common allergens are peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat, and ingestion or exposure to them can cause a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. Can you recognize the symptoms of anaphylaxis? What can you do to help someone experiencing an allergic reaction before emergency services arrive?
