Allergic food reactions usually happen within a few minutes of eating food that you are allergic to, but they can take several hours to develop.
Some people develop a severe, whole-body allergic reaction called anaphylactic shock. This is a rare but potentially fatal allergic reaction where the symptoms develop all over the body, causing swelling, loss of consciousness, low blood pressure and breathing problems. Problems also arise when the mouth and throat swell making it difficult to breath.
