Allergy Awareness

Allergy awareness involves understanding and recognizing the potential risks associated with allergens—substances that can trigger allergic reactions in some people. Common allergens include foods (like nuts, dairy, and shellfish), pollen, pet dander, and insect stings. An allergic reaction can range from mild symptoms, such as sneezing and itching, to severe, life-threatening conditions like anaphylaxis. Raising awareness promotes safety, encouraging individuals to identify allergens, communicate your needs, and take necessary precautions in public spaces, schools, and workplaces to protect those with allergies. Education and vigilance are key to preventing allergic reactions and ensuring a safe environment for everyone.
