Ahhhh—The Wonderful Smell of Food

Everyone loves to eat food and add the favorite seasonings or spices to the delicacies. Adding some pepper, salt, garlic, basil or any other seasoning always helps to enhance the taste, which is why food is so good. The ingredients that are put into food are actually like the foundation to it and are what really helps to give the food its flavor. Yet, not everyone can bear it due to allergies.

As food is being prepared or cooked, the smell of the seasonings and/or spices can have a negative effect on someone who suffers from allergies. Just the hint of the smell can cause a reaction that may induce an attack with asthma, upset stomach, headaches, itchy and burning eyes and skin or in some cases, hard of breathing. The thing to do is to try and avoid this from happening. If there is any visible sign of allergies to the seasonings and/or spices, take note of those and eliminate them from the food.
