Can people have reactions to a food allergen by simply being in the same room as the allergen? In other words, can people have airborne allergic reactions?
是否有可能因為與過敏原處於同一個空間下而發生食物過敏原反應？換句話說，是否有可能發生空氣傳播的過敏反應？
Food allergy reactions primarily occur via ingestion. Reactions to allergens can occur when the allergen comes into contact with your mucus membranes, which line the mouth, eyes, and nose. If you are in the same room as your food allergen and you happen to get some of that allergen on yourself, you can have an allergic reaction by touching your mouth, eyes, or nose. Some allergens can also become airborne when cooking. Shellfish is a good example of an allergen whose proteins can become airborne when cooking.9 If the allergens land on the mouth, eyes, and nose, they can trigger an allergic reaction.
食物過敏反應主要是透過進食發生。當過敏原接觸到您的黏膜，也就是嘴巴、眼睛和鼻子內，便有可能引起對過敏原的反應。如果您和您的食物過敏原處於同一個空間下，且您剛好將一些過敏原弄到自己身上，若您剛好又觸碰您的嘴巴、眼睛或鼻子，便有可能引起過敏反應。部分過敏原也可能在烹煮時傳播於空氣中。甲殼類是很好的一個過敏原例子，其蛋白質會在烹煮時傳播於空氣之中。9 如果過敏原剛好落在嘴巴、眼睛和鼻子上，便有可能引發過敏反應。
