Define the Prevention of Adverse Food Reactions?
Considering the increasing incidence, cost and morbidity associated with allergic reactions, it is perhaps useful to design preventive strategies geared towards minimizing the allergic responses. In fact, prevention strategies for allergic diseases are the key to minimizing the allergic response. In this section, therefore, we will first focus on preventive strategy for food allergies. Having studied about the pathophysiology of the allergic responses, can you suggest measures means by which we can prevent these adverse reactions? Let us help you in this task. You may recall studying earlier about the three steps involved in the allergic reaction process i.e. first sensitization, followed by expression of the disease and symptoms in the second and third step.
