The symptoms of food allergies can be minor to life-threatening. If you develop symptoms like hives, vomiting, shortness of breath, coughing, shock, throat irritation, fainting, or anaphylaxis within two hours of consumption, it could be an indicator of an allergy. Some symptoms, like eczema and extreme gastrointestinal problems, can take up to six hours to manifest. Food allergies are sometimes difficult to diagnose because the cause can be one of several culprits. Common food allergens include eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, and soy. In some countries, seeds such as sesame and mustard are also problematic. The best way to stay safe is to avoid any triggers you have.

Dust is a tiny, complicated allergy trigger. It is made up of a range of substances from plants, dead skin, soil, insects, food, material fibers, and animals. Dust mites and their droppings bring on allergic reactions and they live on collections of dust all over the house. Areas with high concentrations of human skin flakes like the bedroom, carpets, and bathroom rug are commonplace for dust mites to hide. It might be easy to recommend keeping your home clean, but because of the nature of dust mites, you can be unaware of their presence. Sometimes symptoms are made worse after vacuuming and dusting when they are stirred up in the air. Some people find installing a high-efficiency filter in the furnace and air conditioner helpful.
