Food Allergen Series: Egg
Egg allergy usually occur in children, and is eventually outgrown. But a small percentage remain allergic, and avoidance of foods, and even other non-food products, that contain egg is the best option, especially for those who manifest dangerous symptoms. For those whose symptoms are tolerable, like rashes, they are able to take in a little amount of products containing egg.
The current flu vaccines are developed using eggs, and allergic patients may react to the shot. If a patient cannot tolerate the vaccine, the family members should have a flu shot to decrease the person’s probability of having the flu.
