@NoNutTraveler It’s honestly hard to believe this is real. Who would think this is a good idea?!

News: ALLERGIC REACTION!

HIVES don't equal an allergic reaction. Public awareness (and reporting) on this must improve. Our healthcare system sucks BUT prolonged hives RARELY represent a medical emergency - or need epinephrine.

Sincerely,
Allergist

Finally, there is no indication to ever do a full food panel. PERIOD. FULL STOP.

No one EVER needs this test. Misdiagnosis of food allergy is rampant and can cause unnecessary nutritional issues, financial, and psychosocial strain.

The end

3/3.

@NoNutTraveler The whole situation is sad and maddening.

Highly recommend @PaigeFreemanPhD and her allergy parenting support groups, which are open to residents located in over 30 states. Dr. Freeman is an allergy-informed therapist, and @FACounselor advisor and member. Details below....

Intranasal epinephrine will soon be available for the treatment of anaphylaxis.

This research article compares pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties to intramuscular epinephrine. https://t.co/TWBT8mHgsV

[Allergic Living @AllergicLiving]

If you or someone you love has #foodallergies have you ever puzzled over when to give epinephrine? When to give a 2nd dose? Or, how hot is too hot for your auto-injector? Get the answers & more from this interview with an ER doc. It could save a life! @ginaclowes @seattlechildren

[Zak Marks @ZakEdenMarks]

Misinformation about allergy, anaphylaxis, and adrenaline pens is a serious problem.

That’s why I interviewed professor of paediatric allergy @DrAdamFox, who provided some much needed clarity for #AllergyAwarenessWeek ⬇️

@PedsAllergyDoc Parents are being told allergies to nickel and other chemicals because they can’t find any other allergies. What is treatment approach for barrier dysfunction?

[Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology @AnnalsAllergy]

Can people with #foodallergy safely travel?

Yes!!! As with all aspects of management, it requires some extra planning and communication, but it can be done.

This outstanding review covers it all:

Traveling with food allergies can be stressful - you may be faced with a medical emergency in an unfamiliar place.  

This app can help by identifying and mapping out nearby ERs. See link below ⬇️

[Healio Allergy and Asthma @HealioAllergy]

Exciting research presented at #AAAAI2023 shows @Aquestive's AQST-109 reached peak concentrations [without a needle!] faster than traditional modes of emergency epinephrine administration. Read about it here. #foodallergy #anaphylaxis
