    Food allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies a food protein as harmful, causing symptoms like rashes, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. Food allergies are more common in children than adults and avoiding the offending food is the best treatment. Some food allergies, like peanut allergies, can be severe enough that merely being near the food can trigger a reaction, with most fatal cases of anaphylaxis occurring in the home.
