allergies

Whether it's eggs, nuts, dairy products or substances in clothing or cosmetics - certain foods or everyday products can cause allergies in some people. Allergies represent a major health, social, and economic problem worldwide. They affect the quality of life of a considerable part of the population: Around a quarter of the population in Europe is allergic to at least one chemical. Around four percent of children and adults in Germany suffer from a food allergy, and many young people and adults suffer from allergic reactions of the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract.
