10 Food Allergy Symptoms
9. Red Eyes
The white part of our eyeballs is called the sclera which is covered by a thin transparent layer called the conjunctiva. Many conditions can cause the white part of our eyes to turn red or pinkish. Usually, this happens as a result of dilated blood vessels in the conjunctiva, which can be caused by many conditions including direct trauma to the eye, allergic reactions, and infectious diseases to name a few.
The eyes can also be affected during a food-related allergic reaction. They can become red, swollen, itchy and sometimes they can start to tear up. It is important to remove the causing agent as soon as possible and seek medical treatment to avoid further complications.
