-
Sally eats peanuts even though she is allergic!
-
Because sally ate her allergen, her body started to create and antibody that detects bad substances.
-
The antibody in sally's body starts to cling onto other cells in tissues in the bodies to ready the body if that allergen were to be consumed again.
-
If Sally were to consumer peanuts again, the allergen would connect to the antibodies and release a signal to her body to release a substance called histamine,
-
The histamine in sally's body causes irritation and swelling all throughout her body.
-
Everyone can have different reactions to their allergen ranging from shortness of breath, to mild hives ,and to anaphylaxis.
After sally ate peanuts she broke out in hives.
