Triple Threat: Meet Aisa, the Woman Battling Three Rare Allergies at Once

Aisa (22), a member of the popular girl group Stay C, confessed that she is suffering from various allergies, including a recently developed allergy.

On the 4th, on the YouTube channel ‘Donghae Water and Baekdu Eunhyuk’, ‘Stacy who made a fuss (?) to ask for a vacation hahaha is this kind of character always? | EP.7 STAYC | A video titled ‘I’ll Come This Way 2’ was posted. In the video, StayC members Aisa and Yoon appeared and spoke. In the video, Aisa said, “I have a lot of allergies. I can’t eat tofu because I’m allergic to soybeans, and I can’t eat almost any fruit because I’m allergic to fruit with seeds.” He continued, “I didn’t have it before, but recently I developed an allergy to lemons. I think it happens when the body’s immune system breaks down.” Is it possible to acquire an allergy like Aisa’s that never existed?

In conclusion, allergy symptoms that did not exist during adolescence may appear again after becoming an adult. Foods that you normally enjoy can suddenly turn into allergenic foods. It may be that you were originally allergic to that food, but didn’t know about it because the reaction was minimal. Food allergies are caused by an excessive immune response to certain foods. For food allergy symptoms to appear, the immune system needs to change so that the body becomes sensitive to the food. This process is not formed from birth, but occurs at some point when the food is consumed.

Our body produces IgE antibodies that react excessively to certain foods. At the time, you may not be aware that you have developed a food allergy. However, when we eat food after IgE antibodies that react to food are produced, our immune system immediately shows a response that was not seen before through the IgE antibodies. Afterwards, hives, angioedema, abdominal pain, and difficulty in breathing appear. These abnormal changes in the immune system may appear after adulthood, and may even occur for the first time after middle age. The exact reason why allergies occur only to certain foods among so many foods is not yet known.

Meanwhile, if symptoms that suggest an allergy appear, it is best to get an allergy test at a hospital. The test is conducted to find allergens by administering a small amount of the allergen to the skin. To relieve allergy symptoms, the most important thing is to avoid allergens. The best way to prevent allergies is to stay away from foods or substances that cause allergies, such as pollen, peanuts, or eggs.
