Allergic to peaches
A protein is an allergen
Why are peaches allergic to the human body? Zhang Weixi said that peaches have a protein contained in their flesh and core. This kind of protein is hard to denature. Even if it is cooked, some people will still have allergies if they eat it. "Many people think that peach allergies are caused by peach hair. It's not. Some people even wash their peaches clean and eat them allergies," said Zhang Weixi.
According to reports, the symptoms of allergies in peaches are similar to those of other food allergies. "Oral hypersensitivity syndrome" occurs. It manifests as redness, swelling and itching around the mouth, lips, and mouth. Some people are physically long. In the case of skin rashes, a small number of patients may also experience symptoms of digestive tract such as indigestion, vomiting, abdominal pain, and even respiratory symptoms such as asthma. In severe cases, it may even cause anaphylactic shock and endanger life.
In addition, Zhang Weixi also introduced the characteristics of peach allergies, he said, including fruit allergies including peach allergies have a feature: before eating this kind of food may not have allergies, but when a time to eat, suddenly Allergies, and in the event of an allergic reaction, may also occur later. This is exactly why the heart did not have allergies before eating peaches, this time the cause of allergies suddenly. He explained that physical function and allergens are in a process of mutual struggle. When the body function can resist allergens, the body will not have an allergic reaction, but once the body function is reduced and unable to resist, it will also be allergic. Now.

If you have serious medical attention
Speaking of food allergies, Zhang Weixi said that for some people, food may be “poisons†for others. In medical theory, any food may cause allergic reactions in some people. In addition, food allergies are linked to the eating habits of each place, and food allergens vary from place to place. According to reports, in food allergies, Wenzhou people are the most common eggs, milk, seafood allergies. The most common fruit of Wenzhou people is allergic to mankind, and there are people who are allergic to edible pineapple, bananas, strawberries, starfruit, kiwifruit, tomatoes, peaches, etc., but it is not common.
He said that the current screening methods for food allergens are still not perfect, and now medical methods can only be used to screen for relatively common food allergens such as eggs and milk, and there is no corresponding screening method for peach and other fruit allergens. Can be judged by doctors and observed daily.
He suggested that in daily life, "oral hypersensitivity syndrome" or a long-lasting rash on the body should not be taken care of. They can be observed first. If the symptoms are serious, they must go to the hospital. If you are diagnosed with food allergies, do not eat these foods later.
