Revealing The Truth About Allergy Myths

Friday, March 25, 2022

Tree pollen allergy

Leading the battle this week, Allergy UK aims to highlight the struggles that allergy sufferers face daily. Allergy Awareness Week runs from the 26th of April to the 2nd of May and it is a campaign designed to get people talking about allergies.

Suffering from an allergy can be frustrating, irritating and inconvenient. Added to this, many allergy sufferers have to battle through conflicting evidence and floored advice. To clear up a mass of misinformation, we’re revealing the truth about some of the most common allergy myths:

1. Children outgrow allergies

Research has found that young children are ten times more likely to suffer from food allergies than adults. It is known that as we get older our internal system develops and becomes stronger. In turn, we can effectively block the absorption of certain ingredients in common foods that trigger allergies. Often, children who are allergic to eggs, milk and wheat, outgrow their allergies by the time they become adults. However, some children who have outgrown a certain allergy may develop a new allergy in its place.

2. If you didn’t have allergies as a child, you won’t as an adult

Many allergies begin in childhood and it is often thought that once you have made it to adulthood without any allergy, you cannot develop one. However, research has found that you can develop allergies once you are an adult too. Allergies can occur as you become older if you have changed your environment or are exposed to new allergens that you have not been in contact with before. In addition, it is also possible for you to overcome a specific allergy as a child and develop symptoms again as an adult.  

3. Natural foods are non-allergenic

It is a myth that by limiting your diet to natural or organic foods, you will avoid food allergies. Some of the most common food allergies stem from natural food sources. Unprocessed foods, such as cow’s milk, peanuts, eggs, wheat, fish and shellfish account for a large percentage of allergic reactions. Allergies that are caused by natural foods can vary in severity; from mild symptoms (tingling and itching) to life-threatening reactions (breathing difficulties and a rapid heartbeat), they can develop in seconds or minutes.   

4. Mould allergies only occur indoors

You may have been led to believe that mould allergies predominantly develop in damp and unventilated indoor spaces. However, mould can be found almost anywhere. Many believe that mould allergies develop indoors, as spores are visible. However, mould can be found almost everywhere. It grows in soil, rotting woods and fallen leaves in the winter months. You can also experience allergic reactions to mould in the summer, as spores grow on plants when humidity is high. 

5. People who are allergic to pets are allergic to animal fur

It is thought that 10 to 15 percent of the population suffers from pet allergies. However, many pet allergy sufferers believe that it is the animals’ fur that irritates them. An allergen is a certain protein produced by an animal. This can be found in the skin, urine and saliva. As you stroke, groom or play with your pet, microscopic flakes of skin float into the air and it is these particles that cause allergic reactions.
