The woman was taken to the hospital! Why was it okay after eating before? Doctor decrypts, just finished eating a peach birch tree protein peach
At present, the peaches are on the market, and the customer gave a box of peaches to Xiaolin. The peach aroma is overflowing, and Xiaolin immediately washed one. Not long after, she felt hot and itchy on her face and hands. She quickly washed her face with facial cleanser, but the symptoms of redness, swelling, heat, and itching not only did not improve, but also worsened. Xiaolin immediately drove to the Skin Aesthetics Center of Ningbo Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for treatment.
Coincidentally, Xiaohu, who lives in Haishu, Ningbo, has been buying 2 pounds of Fenghua peaches in a group these days. After eating one peach, she feels swollen from her lips, gums, throat, and small tongue. After a while, she even feels a little chest tightness and shortness of breath. Her family dared not delay and immediately took her to the hospital.
After medical history inquiry and face-to-face consultation, Dr. Ye Shu from the Skin Medical Aesthetics Center made a diagnosis: Xiaolin has a typical peach hair allergy, while Xiaohu has a peach meat allergy.
Dr. Ye Shu said that survey data shows that peaches are the most likely fruit to cause allergies, and some citizens may develop varying degrees of allergies due to peaches.
Patients with peach allergy are usually allergic to the fuzz on the surface of peaches, and a small portion are allergic to the flesh of peaches. Because the allergen that causes peach allergy is a protein, the concentration of which is 7 times higher in peach skin than in fruit flesh. In addition, the protein in peaches is similar to the allergen in birch pollen, so patients with birch pollen allergy may also develop peach allergy.
Once an allergy occurs, patients may experience symptoms such as skin itching, rash, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In severe cases, adverse reactions such as throat edema and shortness of breath may even occur, endangering life.
Regarding peach allergies, Xiao Hu asked, "I had no problem eating peaches before. Why did I get allergic this time?"
Dr. Ye Shu explained that when a person is fatigued and their body's resistance decreases, their balance function is much weaker than usual; At this point, if the body comes into contact with some easily allergenic foods, some immune complexes that could have been "killed" at the entrance may not be fully digested and enter the body, causing an allergic reaction. This is also the most common cause of sudden allergies in foods that can be eaten under normal physical conditions.
Xiao Hu immediately remembered that he had been feeling a bit tired recently due to staying up late for creating design drafts.
Dr. Ye Shu reminds everyone that in daily life, we should ensure a good and standardized schedule, maintain a relaxed and moderate mindset, ensure sufficient nutrition, and have a reasonable combination of three meals, so as to keep our bodies in the best condition.
For patients with peach allergies, it is advisable to avoid contact with peaches again as much as possible. If the allergic symptoms are mild, no special treatment is needed. For patients with severe symptoms, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital and follow the doctor's advice to take allergy medication for treatment.
