In our survey we wanted to understand the different types of allergies and how each person reacts differently. The reason this topic was interesting to us is because we wanted to know what portion of the population has an allergy and how important it can be to be aware of them. One of our group members has been in the hospital many times due to reacting to unknown allergies and allergies she is also aware of. First, we needed to see how individual found out they had an allergy and what precautions are needed to make sure they can maintain a safe environment. We did this by first doing research on all the different categories of allergies there are. Once a foundation of knowledge was built about the allergies we found statistics to help back up the data we researched. After this we created a survey asking questions specifically targeted to answer the questions about symptoms, reaction times, quality of life, treatment, and personality. The main purpose for this survey is to educate people on allergies so they can be aware of the different symptoms and on how important it is to know how to treat someone if the situation arises.
