Did you know that a tendency to allergies can be hereditary?

 

If one of the parents has symptoms of allergy, the risk of developing an allergy in a baby may be even twice as high as in the case of children who do not have allergy related relatives. When both mum and dad are struggling with a food allergy, the likelihood of allergy increases even more, especially when it is hypersensitive to the same allergen! Allergy, however, can affect even children without a positive family history of this. This is because environmental factors also play a role here, for example, mother's diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the composition of the intestinal microbiota or contact with tobacco smoke.
