Egg allergies are one of the most common food allergies. Egg allergies are related to proteins. The immune system mistakenly identifies protein as harmful invader and overreacts by releasing chemicals, such as histamine, to defend against it, which results in troublesome allergy
symptoms. Both of the egg white and yolk contain protein, but those in the white are more likely to cause an allergic reaction. It’s advised that patients with an egg allergy should avoid eggs entirely, as it is not possible to completely separate egg white and yolk.
