Food Allergy Facts

According to a study released in 2013 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, food allergies increased approximately 50% between 1997 and 2011. There is no clear reason why this is happening, despite ongoing research.

It is possible to have an anaphylactic reaction without skin rashes or hives.
