📌 Key Points
Egg allergies usually appear in young children and often disappear by adulthood, making them quite rare in adults. However, if an allergic person eats eggs, they must be very careful as it can cause hives, stomachaches, and in severe cases, shortness of breath and 'shock'. Those who cannot eat eggs like Ha Jung-woo can get enough protein by eating a balanced diet of beans, tofu, fish, and meat.
