An unwanted reaction after exposure to certain foods can be divided into two main categories:

This exposure may lead to immediate results such as swelling, swelling, or even shock. And sometimes chronic disease phenomena such as atopic dermatits.

The second type is a reaction to a type of food that is not related to the immune system, such as developing an intolerance to a certain substance, and the most common of these types is an allergy (intolerance) to milk lactose, or a pharmacological (chemical - pharmacological) reaction to some substances in the food, as a response. The body's reaction to caffeine.
