Allergen

into a plant and probably create a new allergen gene, thus cause an unexpected allergic reaction in those susceptible children. Further to this, To assessment of the allergen of GM food is difficult when the gene is transferred from a strange source or with unknown anaphylactogen, because while there are many appropriate animal supersensitive testing, no such experiments for allergy testing (6). Specifically, because of the deficiency of reliable ways for allergen experiment, it is impossible to…

allergic rhinitis (AR), commonly known as “hay fever,” best fits the symptoms presented in this case study as this condition is becoming an increasing common issue in the U.S. AR is the inflammation of the nasal membranes induced after exposure to allergens via IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions (Min, 2010). This condition is characterized by symptoms of watery rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, nasal itching and sneezing and is also frequently accompanied by symptoms involving the eyes, ears…

9 Allergic Contact is Eczema that caused by an allergic reaction to a material called an allergen in contact with the skin. It is more common in women than men due to nickel allergy and recently to acrylate allergy associated with nail cosmetics. Allergic Contact Dermatitis is mainly common in hairdressers, painters and florists. It is easy to…

surfaces that have been in contact with hazardous foods should be cleaned with industrial spray or something else to remove any bacteria that could cross contaminate with other foods. They should also be cleaned to avoid cross contamination of allergens (celery, dairy, eggs, fish, molluscs, crustaceans, lupin, mustard, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, soybeans, sulphur dioxide, cereals containing gluten). 4cs - cleaning: Clean and disinfect food areas and equipment between different tasks, especially…

GMO Food causes dangerous Allergies Food Allergies are on the rise around the world today, especially among children. This is a major problem for families, schools, and hospitals when dealing with children who have food allergies, some of which can be life threatening. Since this is such a serious problem genetically modified foods (GMOs) should be a concern for those whom or don’t suffer from food allergies, since they are not tested, regulated or required to be labeled (organic consumer)…

autoimmune diseases, and immunodeficiency. Allergies are an example of an overactive immune system that tries to overprotect the body, and actually begins attacking allergens that are usually not harmful, such as dust, pollen, and animal dander. Asthma is a condition that can be caused by an overactive immune system that reacts to an allergen and causes coughing, wheezing, and trouble breathing (Holloway, 2016). Autoimmune diseases cause the body to attack healthy tissue. Type 1 Diabetes is an…

First, what is Asthma? Asthma is a chronic long-term respiratory condition that causes spasms in the bronchi of the lungs causing difficulty breathing. This occurs when a person’s airways become inflamed, narrow, and swell, that produce more mucous and makes it harder to breathe. Asthma causes wheezing, chest tightening, shortness of breath, and coughing. There’s no certain age limit that get asthma, but it usually happens during childhood and continue to stay with you throughout life. There…

that has had its genetic material altered using genetic engineering techniques (Genetically modified food, 2003).The DNA of crops is often altered by adding a piece of DNA from bacteria or another crop to make the altered crop better in terms of allergens, nutritional value, or environmental effects (What is GMO, 2013). Because of the alteration, GMOs have long been a globally controversial topic. Some are concerned that the GMOs may cause multiple health problems; others argue that the GMOs not…

Health and Wellness in Ireland continues to experience growing consumer demand, with notable moves towards increased nutritional information on menus. From 13th December 2014, EU legislation requires detailed allergen information on all food products including nutritional information and allergen listing. The onus would rest on Bareburger to ensure that details relevant to food allergies or intolerances are passed on to their…

natural state, which in turn can cause mutations, deletion of a chromosomal segment, and a change in gene expressions. As a result from GE the introduction of new genes inserted could result in raising the levels of an existing allergen or produce a new and unknown allergen. In addition, it could also transfer the DNA of a dead bacteria into the system ("Genetically Modified Food Is Unsafe."; Smith). A common ingredient found in most infant formulas and other processed food is Soy, a part of…
