Food allergies have become a menace in contemporary society, but the unfortunate thing is that there is no known underlying cause for this upsurge of the food allergies. According to CDC (cited in Discovery Channel, 2013), more than 15 million Americans suffer from food allergies, and since the late 1990s, there has been a staggering increase of food allergies in children by 50%. Dr. Sampson and Dr. Sicherer have carried out extensive studies that show an escalation of allergies, and “three to five percent of allergic reactions are due to milk, peanuts, tree nuts, seafood, or eggs” (Groopman, 2011, p. 27). Individuals with food allergies have high levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) that impair the regulation of possible attributing molecules such as histamine and cytokines. Food allergies are believed to have a genetic predisposition that has not yet been explicitly delineated. Even though there is continued controversy on the way forward for food allergies, this paper seeks to present ongoing research and some of the proposed feasible and non-feasible interventions that have been used to help address this issue of food allergies. Literature indicates that both food allergies have detrimental physical and psychologically effects on both children and their parents. In an article by Groopman (2011), Maya’s mother is vigil about what her child feeds. There is always some kind of unrest caused by the fear that whatever a child consumes may turn out to have adverse effects. It is distressing because while it is difficult to ensure that one’s child stays safe from allergic reactions, on the other end, it becomes more difficult as a mother to watch your child not living her life to the fullest when compared to other children his/her age. The fear engraving mothers compels them to be the vigil of their children, and not to trust anyone with them. Kim (Thernstrom, 2013) never hired a baby sitter for Tessa, and she could only work from home. Food allergies restrict a mother’s potential because she is forced to shun her socioeconomic life at times to take care of her child. On a different note, however, mothers become tenacious and can do whatever it takes to get their children right on track. For example, they will lobby for external resources like Kim, who lobbied for a full-time aide for her daughter commensurate to the Americans With Disabilities Act (Thernstrom, 2013). The fear of an allergic reaction makes both mothers and their daughters quizzical of everything that the child consumes, but seemingly, not always do they get accurate answers due to the attacks encountered by Maya and Tessa. Psychological unrest forces mothers like Mindlin to carry emergency drugs in case of an unexpected allergic reaction. Groopman (2011) indicates that Benadryl, in liquid form, could help relieve symptoms because Mindlin used it on her nine-month-old daughter when she experienced allergic reactions after consuming some yogurt. After one year, Maya experienced another food allergic reaction after mistakenly consuming milk protein in a hotdog. During that time, an epinephrine injection was used. Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, has a quick positive effect on severe allergic reactions. Epinephrine is seemingly a more common drug for use in case of an allergic reaction. The medical teams treating Tessa and Max used a combination of medical procedure
