Allergy & Sensitivity Traits Reports

Allergy to Cats

Allergy to cats can either pose a minor inconvenience or major risk to human health, often characterised by breathing difficulties and irritations to the respiratory pathway after contacting cat allergens.

Allergy to Dust Mites

Dust mite allergy is a body’s allergic reaction towards microscopic bugs present in house dust.

Allergy to Egg

Allergy to egg is the condition whereby an individual’s immune system mistakenly identifies the proteins found in egg white or egg yolks as harmful components upon consumption.

Allergy to Peanuts

Peanut allergy is a common yet difficult-to-diagnose allergy as symptoms often vary across individuals. Nonetheless, this allergy is one of the most dangerous allergies as it is potentially life-threatening.

Caffeine Metabolism

Your DNA plays a small role in how much coffee you can drink in a day. Discover how fast your body breaks down caffeine.

Gluten Sensitivity

Gluten sensitivity refers to the body’s intolerance towards gluten, a protein commonly found in wheat and other cereal grains like barley and rye.

Hay Fever

Hay fever, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, is a hypersensitive response towards environmental allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet saliva and fur.

Histamines Intolerance

Histamines intolerance is the accumulation of histamine and the body’s incapability of histamine breakdown, which may increase the risk of histamine toxicity in the body.

Lactose intolerance

Motion sickness

Motion sickness is a condition in which an individual responds to certain types of motion. Seasickness and travel sickness are classic examples of motion sickness.

Sensitivity to Benzene

Benzene is a colourless or light yellow-coloured liquid that can easily evaporate into the air at room temperature. Sensitivity to benzene occurs when an individual is more prone to developing symptoms of benzene toxicity upon exposure to the compound.

Sensitivity To Bitter Taste

Bitter taste is one of the primary sensory qualities that allow us to identify poisonous substances during ingestion. The taste intensity and sensitivity to bitter compounds has a clear link with the activation of human bitter taste receptors present in our taste buds.

Sensitivity To Saltiness

Saltiness is a taste produced primarily by the presence of sodium ions. Due to the genetic variation in an individual's salt taste receptors, one's ability to taste salt will differ from others, which may also result in the difference in salt intake.

Sensitivity To Sweetness

Sweetness is one of the basic tastes detected by the taste buds on the tongue. It is able to satisfy the desire for sugary delights in the human diet. Sweet taste perception can be very different for everyone, which explains the different food preferences among individuals.
