3. SULFITE ALLERGY EXPLAINED
 Naturally occurring sulfites are a group of sulfur-based substances used in food
enhancement and preservation. A study conducted by the FDA shows that sulfite
sensitivity develops in one out of a hundred individual. The cause of sensitivity to
sulfites remains unknown. Furthermore, sensitivity may develop at any age.
 Sulfite reactivity in sensitive individuals can range from mild to severe. Sulfite use
on fruits and vegetables that are eaten raw was banned by the FDA on 1986.
Sulfites used in food preparation are mandated by law to be listed as part of a
product label. Nowadays, sulfites are not used on most fresh foods. However, a
variety of cooked and processed foods may still contain sulfites. Sulfites naturally

stings. Anaphylaxis does not often occur. However, it should
be given immediate intervention. However, people with
allergies to stings can suffer from a severe or life-
threatening reaction.

5. POLLEN ALLERGIES
 These round or oval pollen grains used by plants for reproduction
purposes are so microscopically small and cannot be seen by the
naked eye. In some species, the plant uses the pollen from its own
flowers to fertilize itself. Other plants must be pollinated by other
plants of the same species.
 For cross-pollination, pollen must be transferred from the flower of
one plant to that of another of the same species in order for
fertilization to take place and seeds to form. Flowering plants
sometimes depends on the wind to carry their pollen and for
some, they rely on insects. Plain-looking plants such as
trees, grasses, and weeds; the ones that do not have showy
flowers, are the types of pollen that commonly cause allergic
reactions. The pollens produced by these plants must be they must
be small, light, and dry in order to be suitable for air transport

6. CANDLE ALLERGY TIPS
 Inhaling the odor of essential oils can make one's nasal cavities
inflamed. However, essential oils are used to provide a smell like
autumn leaves or dune grass to candles. Dr. Wedner suggests that
you cannot acquire an allergy from it. According to him, candles
give them runny nose and watery eyes. This is because people with
nasal allergies are more sensitive.
 The sensation of a person with nose sensitivity is like smelling a
cigarette smoke. Avoiding candles is advised for people having a
nose that is sensitive. If you insist to have candles in your home, it is
best to buy the ones with few ingredients and a single scent.
 Distinguishing a certain scent or ingredient that bothers a person
may be done through trial and error. Inhaling fresh air may relieve
unwanted reaction due to smelling scented candles.
