"I used to be allergic to wheat, but not anymore. This problem resolved when I was in junior high school."

- Susumu Takajima, to Kagami Ochiai

A food allergy is an unpleasant or dangerous reaction caused by certain foods, commonly peanuts and wheat. The cause of these is generally unknown, but it is believed to be caused by genetic and environmental factors. Those who had a family member affected are likely to have these problems. In some cases, food allergies can be resolved in adulthood.

Symptoms of these include:
 * Digestive problems
 * Hives
 * Asthma attacks
 * Life threatening injuries (if severe)
