Did you know that 27 million Americans ride horses annually, surpassing both golf and tennis in popularity? This surprising statistic underscores the widespread exposure to potential horse allergens, even in urban areas. In this episode, we tackle the allergies commonly seen in rural environments. We explore the intriguing hygiene hypothesis, comparing asthma rates in Amish and Hutterite communities, and uncover the unexpected prevalence of horse allergies in urban settings. From barn dust to cross-reactive allergens, we dissect the complex interplay of rural allergens, their far-reaching effects, and the critical role of specific IgE testing in identifying these often-overlooked triggers. Gain insights into the unique challenges of diagnosing allergies in rural patients, the importance of thorough clinical histories, and strategies for distinguishing between allergic and non-allergic respiratory symptoms in agricultural settings.

It's been a go-to over-the-counter medication for decades: Benadryl. But do the risks outweigh the usefulness when using Benadryl? New reports say the drug can be harmful if people take it after having an allergic reaction and potentially miss signs that their symptoms are getting worse. We spoke with Dr. Katelyn Wong with Yale Medicine, specifically working in Allergy & Clinical Immunology as well as Pediatric Allergy & Immunology. Image Credit: Getty Images
“Putting yourself out there online as a doctor is not easy. But staying silent while misinformation spreads—that felt worse.” —Dr. Amiirah AujnarainDr. Amiirah Aujnarain has built a community of 80,000 followers by blending evidence-based allergy education with a candid, human presence online. On this episode of The Allergist, she joins Dr. Mariam Hanna to examine how social media is shaping allergy conversations—sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.From Benadryl challenges to dupilumab searches on TikTok, patients are turning to social media for answers long before they see a specialist. Dr. Aujnarain shares how she's meeting them where they are, and why she sees it as both a responsibility and a creative outlet.This episode covers:How allergy misinformation spreads on social media—and what physicians can do about itWhy patients are using TikTok like Google, and how that's changing referral patternsWhat physicians should consider before joining social media, including boundary-setting, time commitment, and emotional labourThe upside of being a visible, human face of allergy care—and the backlash that can come with itWhether you're thinking about launching your own account or simply wondering how your patients are being influenced online, this conversation is an honest look at the power and pitfalls of digital engagement.Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions
Welcome to a world where medicine meets politics: a space that brings together scientific research, government wrangling, public push-back and healthcare conspiracies…Dr Anthony Fauci was the Director of America's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly four decades, during which time he not only helped study, treat and prevent viruses such as HIV/AIDS and Covid-19; he also advised seven US Presidents, from Ronald Regan through to Joe Biden.Along the way, Tony Fauci's picked up a public profile and taken a fair amount of flack; not least because of his complicated relationship with President Donald Trump. But he's also made great strides in medical research and policy, from working with activists who initially challenged him on the government response to HIV/AIDS - to spearheading the USA's PEPFAR project to share vital medication with developing nations.In a candid conversation with Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Tony discusses his childhood in Brooklyn, the dark early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and lessons from the Covid-19.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced for BBC Studios by Lucy Taylor Reversion for World Service by Minnie Harrop

Do adults with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) have a higher risk of death over time compared to people without hives? We review the findings from “Mortality in adult patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria: A real-world cohort study,” published in April 2025, in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. While CSU is often considered a non-life-threatening condition, this large study found something surprising: people with CSU had a significantly higher risk of death, especially from suicide. Dr. G and Dr. Blaiss walk through key takeaways from a dataset of over 272,000 CSU patients and nearly 13 million matched controls. They explore what the results mean for mortality risk, clinical care, mental health screening, and the importance of proper, guideline-based treatment. What we cover in our episode about CSU and mortality risk: What is CSU? Chronic hives are an unpredictable, itchy, and sometimes painful condition. It lasts for 6 weeks or longer and can continue for years. Mental health connection: CSU affects more than skin. Anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts are common and serious concerns. Study findings: CSU was associated with higher mortality at 3 months, 1 year, and 5 years. Suicide risk was over 3 times higher than in people without CSU. Demographics: Younger and White patients with CSU had the highest increase in risk. Treatment impact: Patients using guideline-recommended treatments like second-generation antihistamines or omalizumab had lower death rates. INFOGRAPHIC The Itch Review, hosted by Dr. Gupta, Kortney, and Dr. Blaiss, explores allergy and immunology studies, breaking down complex research in conversations accessible to clinicians, patients, and caregivers. Each episode provides key insights from journal articles and includes a one-page infographic in the show notes for easy reference. Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

antihisztamint adott neki, és megnyugtatta.En: Judit acted quickly; she gave him an antihistamine and reassured him.Hu: Aztán döntött: „Megvizsgálom a vizeletmintát és beszélek pár kollégával.”En: Then she decided: "I will examine the urine sample and talk to some colleagues."Hu: Gergő és Judit egy csapatként dolgoztak.En: Gergő and Judit worked as a team.Hu: Gergő az önkormányzattól kért vízmintákat, hogy laborvizsgálatokat kezdeményezzenek.En: Gergő requested water samples from the local government to initiate lab tests.Hu: Közben Judit egy régi orvosi könyvben kutatott lehetséges okok után.En: Meanwhile, Judit was researching possible causes in an old medical book.Hu: Eközben Zoltán a váróteremben ült, a távoli Balatont nézte az ablakon át.En: Meanwhile, Zoltán sat in the waiting room, looking at the distant Balaton through the window.Hu: Hitt benne, hogy fényt derítenek az ügyére.En: He believed they would shed light on his case.Hu: Néhány nap múlva Judit izgatottan sietett vissza a rendőrőrsre.En: A few days later, Judit hurried back to the police station excitedly.Hu: „Megtaláltam!” - kiáltotta.En: "I found it!" she exclaimed.Hu: „Egy ritka algafaj virágzik a tóban.En: "A rare species of algae is blooming in the lake.Hu: Ez okozza az allergiád!”En: That's causing your allergy!"Hu: A felfedezést követően sürgős intézkedéseket tettek.En: Following the discovery, urgent measures were taken.Hu: Figyelmeztették a lakókat, és tájékoztatták a vendégeket.En: The residents were warned, and the guests were informed.Hu: Zoltán óvatosabb lett, de boldog, hogy tudja, mi történik.En: Zoltán became more cautious but happy to know what was happening.Hu: A probléma megoldódott.En: The problem was solved.Hu: Zoltán elkezdett részt venni a természetvédelmi munkákban, Gergő pedig hírnevet szerzett a közösségben, mint megbízható rendőr.En: Zoltán began participating in conservation work, and Gergő gained a reputation in the community as a reliable officer.Hu: Judit pedig megerősödött orvosi tudásában, és fontolóra vette, hogy tovább képezze magát.En: Judit enhanced her medical knowledge and considered further training.Hu: A faluban ismét béke honolt.En: Peace returned to the village.Hu: A Balaton vizén a napfény játszott, és Zoltán újra élvezhette az úszást, most már tudva, hogy vigyázni kell rá.En: The sun played on the waters of Balaton, and Zoltán could enjoy swimming again, now knowing to be careful.Hu: A tó és a közösség épsége most már mindannyiuk kezeiben volt.En: The safety of the lake and the community was now in all of their hands.

What happens when you target the root cause of indolent systemic mastocytosis? In this episode of The Itch Review, we unpack key findings from the article “Avapritinib versus Placebo in Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis,” published on May 23, 2023, in NEJM Evidence. Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis (ISM) is a rare chronic disease with life-altering symptoms. Until recently, treatment options were limited. We break down new data from Part 2 of the PIONEER study, which evaluated Avapritinib, a targeted therapy designed to inhibit the KIT D816V mutation that drives ISM. Dr. Gupta and Dr. Blaiss explain how Avapritinib works, how the study was designed, and what outcomes were measured, including the Total Symptom Score (TSS). Most importantly, we explore what this treatment could mean for patients with moderate to severe ISM. INFOGRAPHIC What we cover in our episode about avapritinib versus placebo: Understanding ISM: How the KIT D816V mutation causes overproduction and overactivation of mast cells. Why current treatment falls short: The limitations of best supportive care and why many patients remain symptomatic despite multiple medications. How Avapritinib works: A tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets the KIT mutation directly, aiming to reduce mast cell activation at its source. Inside the PIONEER trial: Study design, eligibility criteria, and how outcomes like Total Symptom Score (TSS) and serum tryptase were measured. What the data showed: Improvements in symptoms, lab markers, and quality of life and what this could mean for long-term ISM care. The Itch Review, hosted by Dr. Gupta, Kortney, and Dr. Blaiss, explores allergy and immunology studies, breaking down complex research in conversations accessible to clinicians, patients, and caregivers.

Penicillin is the go-to antibiotic for many common infections - but in the UK more than 1-in-15 adults have a penicillin allergy label on their medical record. New research suggests that many with these labels are not actually allergic. Professor Sue Pavitt explains how more accurate allergy labelling might help fight the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Both Burundi and Senegal announced last week that they had eliminated trachoma. Dr Graham Easton walks us through the long road to this milestone.A passionate debate has caused division in Maharashtra, India, over the possibility of homeopaths being allowed to practice and prescribe conventional medicine. Reporter Chhavi Sachdev explains why doctors on both sides are striking. In the UK, eight babies made with the combined genetic material of three people have been born without the hereditary mitochondrial disease. We explore the implications of this breakthrough.

Hey food allergy mama! Need food allergy camp tips this summer? The first time I sent my kid to summer day camp, I honestly didn't know what I didn't know. I had the EpiPens packed, the forms filled out, the snacks labeled... but I still had that pit in my stomach wondering—did I forget something that matters? If you're feeling that too—or you're just trying to figure out if camp with food allergies is even a safe option—you are not alone. In today's episode, I'm sharing what I learned as a food allergy mom after sending my child to day camp. I'll walk you through the questions I asked, what I packed, and how I prepped both my child and the camp staff. But I'm also going to tell you about the things no one warned me about—the emotional side, the red flags I noticed too late, and what I'd do differently next time. So whether you've already signed up for day camp or you're still deciding, stick around to the end—you'll leave feeling more prepared, more confident, and less alone. I'm cheering for you!

For many families, a food allergy diagnosis doesn't just change what's on the menu, it changes how they live. Suddenly, everyday moments like playdates, birthday parties, family vacations, or a simple trip to a restaurant feel like navigating a minefield. Parents become hyper-vigilant, kids feel isolated, and the fear of accidental exposure looms large, casting a shadow over milestones that should be joyful. But what if much of this suffering is preventable? What if the way we introduce food in infancy could reduce not just allergic reactions, but the emotional burden they carry? In this episode, I'm joined once again by Canadian board-certified Pediatric and Adult Allergist/Immunologist Dr. Stuart Carr. With over 3 decades of experience, Dr. Carr is the Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy in Abu Dhabi. Today, Dr. Carr unpacks the mental health impact of food allergies and reveals how early allergen introduction and oral immunotherapy are reshaping the way we treat and prevent allergies. Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Why “just avoid the allergen” is outdated and harmfulAvoidance doesn't just limit diet, it can hardwire fear and worsen immune reactivity. How are avoidance-based strategies doing more harm than good? -The critical mistake parents make after introducing allergensTrying peanut butter once and checking it off the list isn't enough. What frequency and dose prevents allergies from developing? -Reasonable respect vs. unreasonable fearAllergies aren't just a physical issue, they also affect the mental health and quality of life of children and their families. What stresses do allergies cause in families? How does early introduction alleviate these stresses? Guest Bio Dr. Stuart Carr is a Canadian board-certified Pediatric and Adult Allergist/Immunologist with over three decades of experience. He's been Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy in Abu Dhabi since January 2019, following 20 years in academic clinical allergy practice in Edmonton, Canada, where he was an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Alberta. A Past-President of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and a reviewer for their journal, Dr. Carr's primary interests include pediatric asthma, food allergy, and eosinophilic esophagitis. He's currently collaborating on a Canada-wide study examining the safety and effectiveness of oral immunotherapy for peanut and other food allergies in preschool children.

BUFFALO, NY - July 16, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on July 9, 2025, titled “A novel anti-human CD25 mAb with preferential reactivity to activated T regulatory cells depletes them from the tumor microenvironment.” In this study, researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, led by first author Maja Buszko and corresponding author Ethan M. Shevach, discovered a new monoclonal antibody that selectively targets a subset of immune cells called regulatory T cells (Tregs). These cells, while normally important for preventing autoimmunity, also can block the body's ability to fight cancer by suppressing anti-tumor immune responses. This discovery could lead to novel cancer therapies that strengthen the immune system's capacity to attack tumors. The researchers identified an anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody with several atypical properties and named it 2B010. To evaluate its effects, they used humanized mice, laboratory mice that are engineered to carry human immune cells, to closely mimic how human immune systems respond to cancer. The treatment of these mouse models with 2B010 significantly decreased the number of Tregs in tumors and boosted the activity of CD8+ T cells, which are essential for killing cancer cells. Importantly, 2B010 worked without disrupting other key immune functions. Unlike traditional Anti-CD25 antibodies, it did not interfere with interleukin-2 (IL-2) signaling, which is essential for the growth and activity of effector T cells that fight cancer. “2B010 also had no effect on IL-2 induced STAT5 phosphorylation or CD4+ T cell proliferation in vitro while both were blocked by Clone D1 further supporting the view that 2B010 does not recognize the IL-2 binding site.” This finding is especially significant because high levels of Tregs in tumors are associated with poor outcomes in many cancers. By specifically removing these cells, 2B010 may help overcome one of the main barriers to current immunotherapy approaches. Its ability to preserve IL-2 signaling could also make it safer and more effective when used alone or in combination with existing therapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors. While the 2B010 antibody showed strong effects in reducing Tregs and boosting immune cell activity, the study did not observe changes in tumor size in these models. Researchers suggest this may be due to limitations in the preclinical systems used, such as the lack of tumor-specific T cells in humanized mice. Nevertheless, these findings demonstrate that 2B010 has a unique mechanism of action that could complement other cancer immunotherapies in future clinical trials. In conclusion, the development of 2B010 is a promising step toward selectively disrupting the immune suppressive environment in tumors. As researchers continue to refine and test this antibody, it could become a powerful tool for enhancing the effectiveness of cancer treatments and improving outcomes for patients.

Rufus is a key player in the so-called “Liminal Web” and active mapper of the ecosystem of emerging changemaking organizations who, along with his wife Sylvie Barbier and an extensive network of brilliant allies, strives to promote the shifts in consciousness and culture that we need to safely navigate our age of accelerating technology with wiser, weller ways of living together.Together we get into the good, bad, and ugly of our nascent planetary culture — the tension between ecological consciousness and economic force, the demands placed on us to reclaim time-tested strategies for community and meaning in a brave new world, the intertwingling of religion and science, and why technological solutions alone are woefully inadequate (however necessary) as we face our crises of collective action. It's an earnest, soul-searching, thoughtful, and far-reaching extra-long conversation and I hope that you find as much value in it as we did.If you enjoy this conversation, join the Wisdom x Technology Discord server and consider becoming a member for access to our study groups, community calls, and complete archives.Founding members also get access to the entire twenty hours of lecture and discussion from my recent course, How to Live in the Future at Weirdosphere.Show Links• Explore the interactive knowledge garden grown from over 250 episodes• Dig into nine years of mind-expanding podcasts• Explore the Humans On The Loop archives• Browse the books we discuss on the show at Bookshop.org• Hire me for speaking or consultingDiscussedFour Types of ProblemSecond Renaissance Whitepaper & Theory of ChangeTechnology as GodGetting over our Allergy to ReligionThe Primacy of BeingDavid Sloan Wilson - Darwin's CathedralWilliam Irwin Thompson - Imaginary Landscape, The Digital Economy of W.

Medicine is an inexact science. My patients who are engineers find it frustrating that there is so much conjecture and educated guess work in medicine. But this episode highlights why diagnoses can take time. It's a mix of detective work, bias and listening to the patient story.Links:Chilblains: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chilblains/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20351103STI and painful knee: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/gonococcal-arthritisCarpal tunnel syndrome: https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/carpal-tunnel-syndrome/Psychodermatology (the mind-skin link): https://www.psychodermatology.co.uk/Liver inflammation and glandular fever: https://www.healthline.com/health/mono-hepatitis Hosted on Acast.

As spring allergies subside, clinicians face a new wave of allergy challenges. This episode tackles the often-overlooked summer allergy surge, addressing the shift from tree pollen to grass and ragweed pollen. We explore the critical distinction between Class 1 and Class 2 food allergies, shedding light on cross-reactivity with summer fruits and vegetables. The discussion covers unexpected allergen sources like dust mites in air conditioners and insects like mosquitos as well as non-allergic triggers mimicking allergy symptoms. We also dive into helpful strategies for preparing allergic patients for summer camps. Gain insights on creating effective allergy action plans, managing pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS), and optimizing patient safety during outdoor activities.

This week, Dr. Kahn reviews a strange and increasingly common condition affecting nearly half a million Americans: Alpha-Gal Syndrome, also known as red meat allergy. First described in 2009, this syndrome can cause serious allergic reactions and is often misdiagnosed—despite the fact that a simple blood test can confirm it. The condition is triggered by bites from certain ticks, most notably the Lone Star Tick. Because many vitamins, medications, and medical products contain animal-derived components, reactions can even occur in medical and dental settings. Learn more at PillClarity.org. Short topics this week include: whole grains for lower blood pressure, lifestyle approaches to prevent atrial fibrillation, the fasting-mimicking diet and exercise for reversing prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes, and new trends in U.S. heart disease statistics.

On this episode of Eating at a Meeting, I welcome Addie Lao, a courageous nine-year-old food allergy advocate, and her mom, Dr. Robin Lao, a pediatric nurse practitioner from Sacramento, California. Together, these two inspiring women are leading the charge for safer dining experiences in California with their coauthored California Senate Bill 68 — the Addie Act. We dove deep into their journey: from the transformative moment of Addie being able to eat safely at a Chinese restaurant because of clear allergen labeling, to the challenges and triumphs of advocating for legislation that would require all California restaurants to list the top nine allergens on their menus. Robin shared the legislative process, their advocacy in the state Capitol (including Addie testifying before senators — with her whole third-grade class cheering her on!), and the ripple effect this bill could have for millions of diners, families, and the food and beverage industry. You'll hear the real impact of food allergies on daily life, the importance of inclusivity, support needed from restaurants and the community, and why food allergy diners are among the most loyal customers. Discover how this mother-daughter team is turning adversity into action, the steps restaurants and individuals can take to help, and why sharing your story truly matters. Join us in supporting the Addie Act at additellsall.com and be part of the movement for safer, more inclusive dining everywhere.
