Can food allergies get worse?
Whilst environmental allergies, such as cat and dog dander or bee stings, can get worse over time due to repeated exposure, food allergies can lessen in severity throughout life.
An egg allergy that might be severe in childhood can become milder in adulthood, which means that your immune system can grow to recognise the trigger food and release fewer antibodies (IgE) in response.
This doesn’t mean, however, that the allergy won’t reappear again later in life, so a solid plan for keeping your distance from the allergen in question will stand you in good stead to live your life as normal without fear of allergic reactions.
