During my time researching my project, I have found several things:
first being that the key words that I found to be useful for my Allergy Reaction Research Paper were " allergy reaction, food allergies, and food reaction" The ones that were least useful were " Allergic reactions to garlic, and Reaction to food."
To answer the second point on my work sheet, there are a lot of sources on my topic. At first I was overwhelmed by how many sources were available, but once I took the advice of my librarian and narrowed down the sources, I found it to be quite helpful. 
Some of the sources came up with the right approach, showing how people can be allergic to food, and why it happens in people.  The area of study in this particular subject is really broad, and so it was not all that hard to find information on it.
The way that I sorted through sources was by narrowing down my search first on countries with people who had severe food allergies, then by subject. The criteria I used to figure out if they were useful was first, I looked at the relevance of the articles, then to see if they looked like actual studies that were conducted, and I looked to see if the websites that they were from looked or seemed to be reliable.
The thing that I learned from my topic from simply sorting through some sources, was that my subject is really broad, and it is still very interesting to me, and interesting how severe food allergies can be.

  1. So it sounds like a lot of the research out there is on food allergies in general and not so much on specific allergies? Is that right?
