Without #foodallergy education, many don't realize that teasing with an allergen can have serious consequences. Signs of potential #bullying include school anxiety, increased reactions at #school, and other behavioral and emotional changes (sadness, outbursts, excessive worry).

Fascinating study with wide-ranging implications. We’ll be discussing this topic among many others at our next event, Feeding Community Health Atlanta. Learn more: https://t.co/OynQ2oic9A

Did you know that only 50% of adults with a food allergy have ever been prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector & just 1 in 3 has an unexpired one on hand? A survey of 1,000+ adults with serious Top 9 reactions reveals the disconnect. Why? Get details @allergystrong @foodallergy

WIC inclusion of dairy-free milk is a first step in acknowledging the prevalence and impact of food #allergy and dietary restrictions pervasive in America. Flexible #foodassistance programs are critical to support safe eating and preventative #health.

NYS Legislature just passed bill to cap epi auto-injector prices at $100 a yr. #Foodallergy advocates thrilled. Stacey Saiontz says bill will "ensure families no longer choose "between paying for only antidote for anaphylaxis or their food and rent/mortgage." @NYSenatorRivera

Significant findings support the early introduction of peanuts for protection against peanut allergy.

This should be front page news. We have effective medicines for asthma - the most common reason for childhood hospitalization - & kids don’t have access to them anymore. Because of business decisions made by companies. And kids are literally unnecessarily suffering & dying.

@AllergicLiving @Elijahsecho @oakley_red Very relieved to see the happy ending in this story. But community organizations such as childcare facilities have a responsibility to understand food allergies and get training on how to respond to reactions proprerly. What a terrifying ordeal for this young girl and her family!

[AllergyStrong @allergystrong]

An estimated 1/3 of allergic patients are taking medication that is unknowingly causing them harm due to the presence of allergens that are not labeled. The ADINA Act addresses this problem. @FoodAllergy @RepDeanPhillips

[AllergyStrong @allergystrong]

"What should have been a normal course of treatment with antibiotics turned into the scariest event of my life." The ADINA Act (H.R.4263) supports common sense change to allergen labeling on medication. @RepDeanPhillips @FoodAllergy

[AllergyStrong @allergystrong]

Excited to interview the @US_FDA and join fellow food allergy families at @FoodAllergy Courage at Congress!

[AllergyStrong @allergystrong]

People with food allergies endure so much callousness and are often forced to educate others around them. Allergic people are hurt and exhausted by these comments which puts their health at risk.

One of my slides sharing just some of the comments lobbed at passengers with a #foodallergy 😡
✈️Reminder there are NO federal/international guidelines on how #airlines deal with passengers with #foodallergies -#foodallergies can/ have killed -deserve respect not ire #FridayMotivation

Labeling for allergens is critical to make good health decisions. Currently, allergen labeling is voluntary for alcoholic beverages with no standardization. Consumers typically purchase at night outside of customer service hours, making it even more difficult to get answers.

[Erin Malawer @shmallergy]

@AllergyStrong presented at the @TTB session on alcohol labeling today - strongly encouraging the agency to require disclosure of allergens in alcoholic beverages. In the US, alcohol is not required to list allergens, making it challenging for consumers to sip safely.

The gelato and the company are so refreshing as we navigate #AAAAI24. Spending time with friend @NoNutTraveler is always the best reward!

These have been long incredibly fruitful days at #AAAAI24
Great to take a few min a break eat gelato with fellow advocate and friend @allergystrong

Who says you can’t have fun while you work?! Lots of laughs at #AAAAI24
@ReactaHC can help standardize OFC allowing for better study data among other benefits.

Excited to be learning about how AI can be of use in the field of allergy. Is this for the future or the present?
