Do you need to sneeze to be allergic to something?
No. Sneezing is commonly a result of inhalant allergies, the things you breathe in, such as pollen, dust, or, as pictured above, dust mites. Food allergies, for example, can cause gut reactions such as vomiting or diarrhea. Food allergies can also cause itching and swelling. If the face and tongue swell too much, you might die when the swelling in the back of the tongue and the throat is big enough to close off your airway. For this reason, people at risk often carry an EpiPen, injectable medication to stop or ease such a life-threatening reaction until paramedics can get to them or they can get to the nearest hospital. You can be allergic to anything containing a protein; you can be hypersensitive to nearly anything else, and reactions can vary in type and severity.
