An internet-based survey on the circumstances of food-induced reactions following the diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergy

Abstract

Food induced-anaphylaxis in patients aware of their allergy happens most often at sites considered as safe (i.e. home, schools, workplace, hospitals). Better strategies to avoid accidental reactions include clear labelling of forbidden foods and increased information at all levels. These might dramatically reduce the risk of food-induced anaphylaxis in food allergy sufferers.
