Since the immune system of people with allergies reacts very violently to relatively harmless foreign substances and fights them like pathogens, chemically modified and intensively processed foods can also irritate the immune system. As a result, symptoms such as skin rash, difficulty swallowing, or breathing problems may worsen or be added to previous symptoms.
