    According to the non-profit organization (非营利组织) Food Allergy Research and Education, These foods cause (造成) 90 percent of all food allergies :cow milk. eggs, peanuts, fish , shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, soy. Itching (痒) vomiting (呕吐) and stomachaches (腹痛)...food allergies (过敏) can be dangerous. People can even die (死亡) from them. What's worse, they are becoming more common (常见的) these days. Kari Nadeau, an allergy expert (专家) at Stanford University in the US,did a study of food allergies worldwide.She found that while 3 percent of people had them in 1960, the number rose to 7 percent in 2018. Nadeau said that one reason for this might be that we are exposed (暴露) to fewer microbiota (微生物群). Microbiota can "train"our bodies and stop us from getting allergies.

    Our bodies are exposed to fewer microbiota these days. We live in cleaner homes. We stay indoors (室内) for longer hours. We are given more antibiotics (抗生素)as children - antibiotics kill microbiota.Scientists say it's a good idea for babies to eat many different kinds of foods so that they can build up tolerance (耐受) in their early years. Having a pet cat or dog can also stop allergies from being developed.
