Introducing egg early to Infants may decrease chance of egg allergy. Study shows children not introduced to egg at one year were more likely to have egg allergy at 6 years: https://t.co/maGivPYXA1 #ACAAI21
@AllergyKidsDoc: It can be helpful for #foodallergy patients to find balance with anecdotal stories. Yes, there are tragic experiences, but also look for allergy experiences that speak to resilience and empowerment, too. #ACAAI21
@FoodAllergyBuzz Agree. I will not ever donate [again] to #foodallergy organizations who justify excessive salaries and/or use fear to further their mission
@life_asthma@JamesBSchroeder@AllergyAsthmaHQ (2/4) Also often missed are all of the critical reasons why many families do choose SLIT - prioritizing tx safety, patient anxieties, taste aversion, balancing complicated health conditions & multiple allergens, need for less lifestyle interference from a tx, and others.
@life_asthma@JamesBSchroeder@AllergyAsthmaHQ (1/4) To add an example of this, SLIT is often presented as a low-dose version of OIT, with SLIT and OIT routes and doses being spoken of as if comparable. They are not comparable. A 1 mg SLIT dose is not the same immunologically as a 1 mg OIT dose. The same SLIT dose does more.
I try to get my teens up and out to see the sunrise at least once on vacation. Not easy. Only one came with me that day. Boy, was it worth it. So beautiful.
A severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis typically involves symptoms from two or more body systems. Kids and adults may describe these symptoms differently. Prompt delivery of epinephrine helps to stop the symptoms quickly. https://t.co/MlbUiHumft
I missed this due to travel but will reiterate my earlier point that more voices in the #foodallergy community absolutely need to be elevated for the benefit of the larger community.
Hearing allergists compare SLIT & OIT is just disheartening. Please have allergists who can provide legit info about SLIT on these panels.
