Answer

• One possible symptom of a food allergy is death.
  Explanation:
  Food allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to a food or substance in a food. Symptoms of food allergy ranges from mild to severe. The most severe allergy symptom is anaphylaxis which may impair breathing, low blood pressure and changes in heart rate. Various other symptoms of allergy include wheezing, repetitive cough, vomiting, dizziness, pale skin among others. Death is not a common symptom of allergy.
