10.8% of 40,000 adults surveyed reported symptoms consistent with food allergy and an additional 8.2% believed they had some type of food allergy, however, their symptoms suggested other causes.
Doctors often try to avoid the drugs that the patients have not tolerated well in the past. The question is often: was this a drug intolerance or a true drug allergy?
While it is true that many people only experience allergy symptoms during the warmer months of the year, many individuals have winter allergies too.
