📋Overview
This condition occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly identifies certain egg proteins as harmful substances. Upon exposure to these proteins, the immune system releases chemicals that trigger various allergic reactions, making it one of the most common food allergies observed in children.
While chicken eggs are the primary cause of this immune response, reactions can also occur from the eggs of other poultry such as ducks or geese. Clinical observations indicate that the allergy typically involves a hypersensitivity to proteins found in either the egg white or the egg yolk.
