Voice 2: Konsam, we are really happy that the program helped you! An allergy¹ is an unusual reaction to a common substance. Sometimes this reaction can simply be unpleasant or unlikable. For example, a person's skin may feel hot or uncomfortable. But sometimes an allergy can be more - it can be deadly. People may have very severe allergies². And they may not even know it! Many people do not know a lot about allergies. So, in the “Deadly Allergies” program we shared information about allergies.

声音2：康萨姆，我们非常高兴那期节目能帮到你！过敏是对普遍物质产生不同寻常的反应。有时反应可能只是不舒服或不喜欢。比如，过敏时一个人的皮肤可能有很热或是不舒服的感觉。但是，有时过敏可能是致命性的。人们可能患有非常严重的过敏症。本人甚至可能并不知情！许多人对过敏并不了解。所以，在《致命的过敏》这期节目中我们介绍了过敏的相关知识。

Voice 1: Konsam, as you probably know, the most important thing is to avoid peanuts. It is also important to avoid any product made from peanuts. For some people, this even includes avoiding foods cooked in peanut oil. But if you do have any questions about your allergy, you should go to a doctor or health worker. They can give you more details about your condition. We wish you luck in managing your peanut allergy! And thanks for writing!
