What molecule triggers an allergic reaction when it is stimulated?
Protein molecules are the molecules that set off an allergic reaction. Common allergens associated with protein molecules include pollen, dust mites and peanuts.
Are peanuts bad for you?
Only if you are allergic to them. They are a good source of protein.
Can you be allergic to peanuts but not peanut butter?
It occurs rarely, but yes. There are two types of peanut allergies based on the hosts reaction to the protein in the peanut. The majority of allergies are full blown, but some react differently when the protein structure is changed (e.g. creamed or whipped). You can be allergic to the protein itself, or the particular structure of the protein. This is a new study, so more information is being collected, but early studies are showing positive results.
Does an antigen cause an allergic reaction?
Only if the person is already allergic to that antigen. Not if they are immune to the antigen. The word antigen refers to the protein that joins with the antibody. If the antibody is of the allergic type (IgE) then an allergic reaction will happen and if the antibody is of the immune type (IgG, IgM or IgA) then there won't be an allergic reaction.
Why should you not eat nuts when pregnant?
because it is very high in protein and it tends to get the fetus a tendency to be allergic to nuts/ peanuts

If you are allergic to strawberries you would also be allergic to what?
If you have Strawberry Allergy then you suffer from allergies Type 1 what is also called Contact Allergies. One or more of the thousands of proteins found in strawberries causes the allergic reaction to strawberry. Scientist at the Lund University of Sweden has identified a protein that is believed to cause the majority of allergic reactions to strawberry. This protein is very similar to the allergy causing protein found in birch pollen. Individuals that are allergic to birch pollen can have a cross allergy reaction to some berries, fruits and to some vegetables. Researchers have found that the protein that caused the allergic reaction is Not found in the white strawberry. This protein seems to be related somehow to the red coloration of the red strawberry. And you won't be able to enjoy strawberry poptarts.
Can someone be allergic to amino acids?
Yes protein can cause allergic reaction to some people. Why i say this? because i am allergic to protein especially from milk, peanut, egg and chicken. Well Amino is made from extraction of those products.
Does peanut oil contain protein?
Peanut oil is mainly derived from peanuts. Peanuts are not actually a part of the nut family but many people are allergic to them. Therefore, if you are allergic to peanuts, you should not use the oil.
Do you have to drink milk to get the protein from peanuts?
No, you don't have to drink milk to get the protein from peanuts. Milk and peanuts do have different amino acid (building blocks of protein) ratios however. There are certain essential amino acids found in milk that are not found in peanuts. Protein coupling is used to get the most out of the protein you consume.
What does an allergen have to do with a food allergy?
The food allergy is a more general statement. If I say I'm allergic to peanuts I am not allergic to every aspect of the peanut only the "allergen" i.e. the specific protein that my body is reacting to. In theory if I was able to remove that protein or allergen I would be able to eat the peanut
Allergic reaction to banana?
An allergic reaction to a banana isn't very common, but it does happen. Some people are allergic to the form of protein contained in the banana. Additionally, if you're allergic to the banana, you could also be allergic to watermelon, cantaloupe kiwi, avocado and chestnuts and latex. Some people aren't actually allergic to bananas, they're allergic to the gas used to ripen bananas.
