Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Fruits or vegetables from other countries may have proteins or carbohydrates, called allergens, that are similar to those found in fruits found here such as strawberries or citrus fruits. Eating these unusual foods may trigger an allergic reaction because the antibodies bind to the antigens in the fruit and trigger the release of histamines from the body's white blood cells. People can have hay fever, skin rashes, asthma, or even an anaphylactic reaction when they come in contact with an allergen from any source. Nuts and legumes can also trigger severe allergies in many people.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
