Food allergy may also cause swallowing to be difficult. The eyes, mouth and throat may also get itchy. Gastrointestinal hypersensitivity including diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps and nausea may also occur. The most dangerous reaction to food allergen is called anaphylactic shock, which may result to loss of consciousness, low blood pressure or death. Peanuts, milk, seafood and egg are the most common allergens that caused anaphylactic shock.

Presently, there are still no cure for food allergies. Vaccines that contain allergens may cause harm to the patient because it will trigger allergic reactions even if the amount of allergen is very small.
