Milk Allergy

A milk allergy is a food allergy, an adverse immune reaction to one or more of the constituents of milk from any animal (most commonly alpha S1-casein, a protein in cow's milk). This milk-induced allergic reaction can involve anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening condition.

Milk allergy is distinct from lactose intolerance.

Famous quotes containing the word milk:

    At first thou gav’st me milk and sweetnesses;
    I had my wish and way:
    My dayes were straw’d with flow’rs and happinesse;
    There was no month but May.
    But with my yeares sorrow did twist and grow,
    And made a partie unawares for wo.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
