Through this Wiki Space Page my partner Tan and I will aim to provide sufficient information about the various allergies that the modern society experiences. We will also include allergy-free recipes for the people who are not allowed to eat specific types of food because they have some allergies. The recipes are of food that, in their original states, are not edible for allergic people.**

__**Definition**__ Allergies are an exaggerated or negative response (reaction) to substances that are generally not harmful.

Allergies are relatively common. Both genetics and environmental factors play a role. The immune system usually protects us from harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses. They also react to something called allergens, which are generally harmful and does not effect a normal human being. In people with allergies, the immune system in them is weak and thus cannot tolerate the allergen (in other words, creates intolerance.) The immune, when recognizes an allergen, releases chemicals such as histamines, which fight of the allergens. This may cause itching, swelling, muscle spasms, and other irregular actions. Possible Allergies: And others…
 * 1) Tree Nut Allergy
 * 2) Peanut Allergy
 * 3) Milk
 * 4) Eggs
 * 5) Wheat
 * 6) Soy

=__**Tree Nut Allergy**__=

In a Tree Nut Diet. A person cannot eat Tree Nuts. Nut allergy effects people all around the world and is the most common allergy. In this allergy, dietary substances from trees effect the immune system causing overreaction. This can lead to physical symptoms. Tree nuts include almonds, Brazil Nuts, Cashews and Chestnuts. The severity of the allergy varies from person to person, and exposure can increase sensitization. For those with a milder form of the allergy, the raw nut protein usually causes a more severe reaction than the oil, and extra roasting or processing can reduce the allergic reaction.



=__**Soy Allergy**__=

Soy allergy is a type of food allergy. It is a hypersensitivity to dietary substances from soy causing an overreaction of the immune system which may lead to severe physical symptoms for millions of people. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America estimates soy is among the nine most common food allergens for paediatric and adult food allergy patients. It is usually treated with an exclusion diet and vigilant avoidance of foods that may be contaminated with soy ingredients. The most severe food allergy reaction is called anaphylaxis and is a medical emergency requiring immediate attention and treatment with Epinephrine.



=**__Egg Allergy__**=

Eggs in themselves aren't bad, but when you're allergic to them, your body thinks they are. When a person is allergic to eggs, the body's immune system overreacts to proteins in the egg. Every time something made with eggs enters the digestive system of a person with an egg allergy, the body thinks that these proteins are harmful invaders. So when a person with an egg allergy eats a food that contains eggs, the immune system unleashes an army of chemicals to protect the body. The release of these chemicals can affect the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, skin, and the cardiovascular system — causing allergy symptoms like wheezing, nausea, headache, stomach ache, and itchy hives.

__**Benefits and Constraints**__
For example if you cannot eat nuts but it look so tasty that you wanted to eat it so badly but the point is you are nuts allergies so you cannot eat it this is some of the suffering some of the diet might face. People like to eat meat for example mostly boys like to eat meat if they are forced in to choose vegetarian and cannot touch any meat or animal that are cooked they are in big trouble they need to control them self to not eat it just because they wanted to eat it. It’s an force you cannot refuse depend on your family believe. A very good example for girls is chocolate some of the chocolate have nuts inside which makes the chocolate taste better depend on a person perspective. If they could eat chocolate but not nuts if the nuts is inside the chocolate even though you take it out you cannot eat it. A lot of people are feeling painful in this (forced) allergies they cannot chose by the family but need to pay respect to the believe and follow them.
