harmed by coming into contact with the substance After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show up so many
different ways Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems You may have rashes,
hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes Many of these allergies will not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months Breast milk also tends to be protective Migraines can

No educational medium better serves as a means of spatial communication than the atlas Atlases deal with such invaluable information as population distribution and density One of the best, Pennycooke's World Atlas, has been widely accepted as a standard owing to the quality of its maps and photographs, which not only show various settlements but also portray them in a
variety of scales In fact, the very first map in the atlas is a cleverly designed population
cartogram that projects the size of each country if geographical size were proportional to
population Following the proportional layout, a sequence of smaller maps shows the world's
population density, each country's birth and death rates, population increase or decrease,
industrialization, urbanization, gross national product in terms of per capita income, the quality
of medical care, literacy, and language To give readers a perspective on how their own country fits in with the global view, additional projections depict the world's patterns in nutrition, calorie and protein consumption, health care, number of physicians per unit of population, and life expectancy by region Population density maps on a subcontinental scale, as well as political
maps, convey the diverse demographic phenomena of the world in a broad array of scales.
