Answer:

Peanut allergy

Explanation:

Peanut allergy is a food allergy caused by peanuts. It is caused due to immune system's type I hypersensitivity reaction. Dendritic cells recognize peanut allergens as foreign pathogens. Immunoglobulin E acts to release histamine from mast cells which causes the symptoms of allergy.

The symptoms include hives, itchiness, vomiting, diarrhea etc. In severe cases asthma like symptoms develop, blood pressure drops and cardiac arrest might occur. Allergic exposure can occur via ingestion and also via skin contact or inhalation of peanut allergens.

Why is primary production and animal life concentrated at the surface in pelagic regions of the open-ocean?
konstantin123 [22]
Photosynthesising primary producers require sunlight. Therefore, in the ocean, phytoplankton would be concentrated within the surface layers of the ocean where the sunlight penetrates. Phytoplankton support a wide range of marine life: zooplankton feed on phytoplankton, which in turn support fish and so on.
