On one hand, this is a fine explanation of how allergies develop and how an allergic reaction occurs. The animations are good, and the content is accurate. On the other hand, though, it doesn't mention eggs at all and mentions food allergies only once, so it's not the most relevant page for this WEGO topic.
This page contains a video that explains why an allergic reaction happens. It's easy to understand and the graphics were helpful. I wish it would have taken it further though. I wish it would have shown then what TO DO if an allergic reaction happens. To me it seems like it's only giving you part of the equation and it's leaving out some valuable information. It is a good place to start, just don't forget to investigate further.
Excellent depiction of an allergic reaction, but nothing specifically about egg allergy. It does not go into detail how to curtail the response or otherwise prevent the allergy attack. It is a wonderfully done video however, and I would recommend it for anyone wishing to find information on allergic reactions.
