Izzy The Food Allergy Queen

Izzy The Food Allergy Queen

  Hi everyone, in this blog I will be talking about my allergies! There are so many allergies in the world such as peanut,tree nut, milk, and eggs. I have a lot of allergies such as peanut, tree nut, dog, corn, and grass. Sometimes I get scared when I eat food because I never know if I'm going to react or not. When I do have a reaction my parents never know what I'm going through (comment down below if you are a allergy kid and if your parents don't understand what you are going through).
There are so many ways people can react. Two ways are getting a stomach ache or your throat closing. What happens to me is, I usually get a bubble which is kinda like my throat closing but my throat doesn't close! I have never thankfully used my epipen. Have you ever had to use your eppipen? (I hope not!!)
Did you know that 30 percent of the adults and 40 percent of the kids in the world all have allergies ? Another fun fact is in 2012 11.1 percent of people had allergies, that's a lot of people !! There are so many in people in the world with allergies but most of them are kids!! Since I am allergic to peanut and tree nuts I could never go to any sports game which sucks because I really like baseball!!  
I bet you didn't know that most people are born with allergies?? We discovered my allergy of peanuts and tree nuts at the age of 18 months. My mom gave me a peanut butter cup thinking I would be fine but in minutes I was starting to react. My mom didn't know that I was having a reaction so she kept on giving me peanut food and I kept on reacting. Then we finally decided to get me skin tested. My back blew up like a bomb. That's when we knew that I was allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. Which really sucks!! As I keep getting older I keep getting more and more allergies which is not fun!! Today I am still allergic to many things which makes me very sad !!
Thank-you so much for reading my blog!! I wonder if they will ever find a cure for allergies!!! (I hope so!!) 
Peace out,
Izzy
