The same cure already exists. It's just that hardly anyone bothers with it because it's easy to avoid eating the food you're allergic to, whereas it's not easy to avoid pollen.

How severe are your allergies? If they're fairly minor you could just load up on Benadryl.

God doesn't want you to eat sea bugs, so I suggest not doing so.

Eating crustaceans results in my eyes swelling up, my taste buds starting to burn, developing skin rashes and difficulty breathing.

They're pretty severe

But the white meat from lobster tails looks so juicy and succulent.

I've heard they taste like chicken but better.

It's to die for.

Onion, Ginger, Walnuts, Eggplant, and Soy Allergies reporting in. Yeah it all sucks and only wish there was a cure.

The only cure is if people with food allergies just keep killing themselves.

Eugenics, it works.

Its weird because I could eat tons of crustaceans as a lil boy, but one day I developed an allergic reaction.

I'm unsure if this would fall under the category of "food allergies" but its super related and I guess could add something to laugh at.

Scrub or remove the outside of the fruit/veggies to remove pesticides (apple skin, orange peels, bananas, leafy greens, etc). Use soap, water, and a plastic pot scrubber to do this. Then rinse it well. Wash your hands after doing either so that you don't transfer anything to your mouth/face. Systemic pesticides can normally be cooked out since they are normally not heat stable (carrots, corn, tomatoes, leafy greens, etc). Organic pesticides can still be a problem.

The best thing you can do is avoid all foods that you didn't personally raise/grow and cook. Some people can't do that, but whatever. Growing crops without any type of pesticide will normally go a long long way to preventing allergic reactions with your food. I became a farmer for this very reason.

That has nothing whatsoever to do with an allergic reaction.
