Hevein is the main IgE-binding epitope of the major latex allergen prohevein [4] as are hevein-like protein domains in fruit class I chitinases. [5] Therefore it is a possible cause for allergen cross-reactivity between latex and banana or other fruits like chestnuts or avocadoes. [6]
Latex allergy is a medical term encompassing a range of allergic reactions to the proteins present in natural rubber latex. [1] It generally develops after repeated exposure to products containing natural rubber latex. When latex-containing medical devices or supplies come in contact with mucous membranes, the membranes may absorb latex proteins.
A synthetic food dye used in processed foods like confections, soft drinks, flavoring syrups, condiments and convenience foods in order to create a potent yellow or bright green coloring. Prevalence of allergenicity is unclear but it is the most likely azo dye to cause hypersensitivity and reactions may occur from ingestion or skin contact.
5. Berries. Berries, with their natural acidity, can also cause aluminum foil to leach into food. They can also fall apart and turn into a sad, mushy mess when cooked in foil at high temperatures.
Food allergies rarely cause respiratory (asthmatic) reactions, or rhinitis. [25] Insect stings, food, antibiotics , and certain medicines may produce a systemic allergic response that is also called anaphylaxis; multiple organ systems can be affected, including the digestive system , the respiratory system , and the circulatory system .
Lactucarium is the milky fluid secreted by several species of lettuce, especially Lactuca virosa, usually from the base of the stems.It is known as lettuce opium because of its sedative and analgesic properties.
Cross reactivity may also occur between a pathogen and a protein found on a non-pathogen (i.e. food.) There may even be cross reactivity between two non-pathogens; [5] for example, Hevein-like protein domains are a possible cause for allergen cross-reactivity between latex and banana. [6]
Tyrosine, which can also be synthesized in the body from phenylalanine, is found in many high-protein food products such as meat, fish, cheese, cottage cheese, milk, yogurt, peanuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, soy protein and lima beans.
