Anaphylaxis Causes Food
Many foods can trigger anaphylaxis, even when the food is eaten for the first time. In Western cultures, the most common causes are eating or being in contact with peanuts, wheat, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, milk, and eggs. In the Middle East, sesame is a common trigger food. In Asia, rice and chickpeas often cause anaphylaxis. Severe cases are usually caused by eating the food, but some people have a severe reaction when the trigger food touches some part of the body. Children can outgrow their allergies.
