Many individuals in the world suffer from a milk allergy. When evaluating allergies among children, this is considered to be the most common food related one.
Typically, a milk allergy is a result of a sensitivity involving the milk that is created by a cow.
However, for many, a milk allergy is extremely broad and results from consuming the milk from other animals as well, such as the goat, sheep, and even milk that is obtained from buffalo.
Once an individual consumes milk, they will likely experience symptoms within a few minutes. However, many do not feel symptoms until several hours later.
There are several symptoms that may occur when a person suffers from a milk allergy.
Naturally, the symptoms that are experiences will vary from one individual to another. Many individuals may initially develop hives on the skin.
This may be accompanied by breathing complications such as wheezing. In many instances, a person suffering from this type of allergy will experience vomiting.
If any of these symptoms occur, the individual should see a doctor. The reason being, as time progresses, the symptoms may become worse.
If a severe allergic reaction is experienced, it could lead to many serious issues.
There are many symptoms of a milk allergy that may appear within a few hours of consuming the drink.
First, it is not at all uncommon for an individual to experience cramping in the abdominal area.
It is also likely that gastrointestinal complications such as diarrhea and even the presence of blood in the stools during bowel movements.
Many people may start suffer from a rash on various locations of the body. This is often accompanied by nasal congestion, high levels of mucus in the eyes, and even coughing.

http://www.MeTheDoctor.com/allergies.htm — Egg Allergy — Egg Allergy Explained
When it comes to food based allergic reactions, it has been established that the egg allergy is one of the most common experienced by both children and adults alike.
Individuals that experience this type of allergic reaction often do so within a few hours of ingesting eggs, or foods that contain egg as an ingredient.
While most people will experience only mild symptoms, there are many that may suffer from a severe allergic reaction.
While it is true that the reaction may be potentially fatal if the onset of anaphylaxis occurs, this is not a situation that occurs frequently among sufferers.
Just as each person is unique in their own, those that suffer from this type of allergy experience symptoms in their own unique way.
One of the first symptoms that may occur is the onset of a rash or even hives on the body.
Many will also face challenges that are related to their gastrointestinal tract.
These include vomiting, cramping, and mild to severe forms of nausea. The nasal cavities may become inflamed.
In the more serious allergic reactions, it is not at all uncommon for the sufferer to experience complications in breathing, or allergic asthma.
When an individual is experiencing an egg allergy, they may discover that taking an effective over-the-counter antihistamine relieves the symptoms that are being experienced.
If the reaction is considered to be severe, emergency medical attention is necessary.
Typically, a doctor will provide the patient with an injection. The medication in the injection is epinephrine.
Basically, this is nothing more than a condensed version of adrenaline that assists in eliminating the symptoms associated with the egg allergy.
If you or someone that you know experiences a reaction to eggs, or products that contain eggs, the best form of prevention is to avoid this type of food product.

NEW YORK June 28, 2007 – (CBS) Now that school’s out in most places, it’s time for summer camp.
Millions of kids are signed up and, whether it’s day camp or a sleep-away, parents need to be sure their little ones are well-prepared.
Victoria Pericon, an author and the founder of “Savvy Mommy,” an online magazine (http://savvymommy.com/), stopped by The Early Show Monday with some ideas to help parents make sure their youngsters are ser for their time away.
The first thing parents should do, Pericon told Russ Mitchell, is make sure the camp offers activities their child will enjoy — sports, dance, photography, theater, art, etc.
If the child has never been to camp before, talk with other parents to see whether your child’s friends will be going to camp; they may be happier if they know some people already at the camp. You could also start off small and only do a sleep-away camp or day camp for the minimum number of weeks the camp allows, instead of the full summer session of eight weeks.
The best age to send kids to camp for the first time is about 4 for day camp for a half-day or full day, a few days a week. At 5, they can pretty much go every day for a full day to a day camp. As for sleep away, the average starter age is 7.
Items kids would find useful at camp include:
MABEL’S LABELS: Sticky labels used to make sure day campers and sleep away campers both return with their prized possessions, whether they’re clothes, gear, or water bottles.
SO COZY BOO SHAMPOO AND LEAVE IN DETANGLER: Repels lice, which can live on bunk mate’s pillow (for both day camp and sleep away campers).
CAMP PACS FOOD: Free camp care packages don’t invite unwanted critters, but remind the camper parents are thinking of them. Always include something to share with other campers: stickers, a magazine, nail polish, etc.
NALGENE WATER BOTTLE: With a wide mouth it is easier to fill with ice water and take on hikes for both day camp and sleep away camp.
AUTOGRAPHABLE CAMP PILLOW CASE: For sleep away campers or a shirt for day camp attendees as a camp memento.
SHADY DAY SUNSCREEN WIPES and Teeny Towels DEET-free insect repellent wipes: A mess-free way to combat the sun and insects
To get kids ready on the medical front, ones with food allergies or other illnesses should have additional medication (Epi-pen or TwinJet, insulin, etc.) for them to take along. Also, make sure the information on their medical ID bracelet is current. You can always get them a more fashionable sport band medical ID bracelet (www.identifyyourself.com), so they don’t stick out like a sore thumb at the pool, etc.
Medications are usually dispensed at the camp’s front office or, if they’re attending day camp, they can take it before they leave in the morning.
Pericon also advises that parents wait until it’s the day for parents to visit sleep away camp to be in touch with them. She says kids will be in contact asking for things, sending postcards in the beginning if they’re bored or homesick, but there will be fewer or no postcards as they start having fun, etc. So, just relax and, before you know it, they’ll be back home and you’ll be back to the school routine.

Food allergies in American children seem to be on the rise, affecting 3 million kids, according to the first federal study of the problem.
Experts tell the Associated Press this might be because parents are more aware of allergies, and quicker to have their kids checked out by a doctor.
About one in 26 children reported food allergies last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. That’s up from one in 30 in 1997.
The 18 percent increase is significant enough to be considered more than a statistical blip, said Amy Branum of the CDC, the study’s lead author.
Nobody knows for sure what’s driving the increase. A doubling in peanut allergies — noted in earlier studies — is one factor, some experts said. Also, children seem to be taking longer to outgrow milk and egg allergies than they did in decades past.
But also figuring into the equation are parents and doctors who are more likely to consider food as the trigger for symptoms like vomiting, skin rashes and breathing problems.
In the past, parents and doctors might have just labeled a child sickly, rather than look for a cause such as a food allergy.
