"Wrap up warm, or you'll catch a cold!" No doubt you heard that advice a lot as a child, and you may well still hear it as an adult. For a long time, scientists were skeptical about the idea that simply being exposed to the cold could make a person sick. After all, to get sick, you need to actually come into contact with a microbe, like a virus. And cold weather itself isn't a disease. But recent developments suggest there may actually be some truth to the idea. In December 2022, The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology published a study by a team of American researchers, who had looked into how cold weather affected immunity in the nose. The researchers explained that our nasal mucous membranes, and in particular the extracellular vesicles, act as the first line of defense in our immune system against viral attacks. What do we know now that we didn't before? But is the cold the sole culprit? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

When it comes to keeping kids with food allergies safe at school, school nurses are often the quiet heroes behind the scenes. From managing allergy action plans and emergency responses to training teachers and organizing care for hundreds of students, their role is essential, but often misunderstood. Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta sit down with Elizabeth Elliott, a school nurse and President of the Maryland Association of School Health Nurses. Liz shares what really happens inside the health room and how school nurses coordinate care for students with food allergies and asthma. Plus, why communication between families and school staff is key to keeping kids safe. After this episode, you'll have a whole new appreciation for your school nurse and a better understanding of how to partner with them to make every school day safer for kids with allergies. What we cover about food allergy management at school: The school nurse's role: How nurses bridge communication between families, teachers, and doctors to keep children with food allergies safe and included during the school day. Coordinating care: How school nurses use action plans and 504s to ensure everyone, from teachers to cafeteria staff, knows how to keep kids safe. Training and emergency preparedness: How school nurses teach staff to recognize anaphylaxis, use epinephrine, and stay calm during an emergency. Field trips, cafeterias, and bus safety: What goes into planning safe experiences beyond the classroom, and why “no-food on the bus” rules really matter. Advocating for resources: How families can support their school nurses and advocate for better funding, staffing, and allergy awareness in schools. ___ Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

Mucus plugging is a challenge in asthma care. It's thick, sticky mucus that blocks the airways and doesn't respond to regular inhalers. Even when inflammation improves, these plugs can lower lung function, limit how well medicine works, and make asthma harder to control. In this episode, we break down the study: “Effect of Dupilumab on Mucus Burden in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Asthma,” published October 28, 2025. The analysis looks at whether dupilumab (Dupixent), a biologic that blocks IL-4 and IL-13, can lower mucus burden and improve lung function, especially in people who start with a high “mucus plug score.” What we cover in our episode about dupilumab and mucus plugging Why mucus plugging matters in asthma: Discover how thick, sticky mucus can block airways, make it harder to breathe, and why standard inhalers and steroids don't clear these plugs. How dupilumab may help: Learn how this biologic blocks IL-4 and IL-13, two key drivers of type 2 inflammation that increase mucus production and thickness. Inside the VESTIGE study: Hear how researchers measured mucus burden using CT scans and “mucus plug scores” to see if dupilumab could reduce plugging in moderate-to-severe asthma. What the results showed: Find out how dupilumab lowered mucus plug scores, reduced airway inflammation, and improved lung function (FEV₁), especially in people with high mucus burden. What this means for patients: Learn why identifying and treating mucus plugging may help improve breathing, reduce flare-ups, and make asthma easier to manage day to day.

For decades, peanut allergies were on the rise in the US. But a study released on October 20 found that peanut allergies in babies and young children are now decreasing. This drop correlates with a change in guidance from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In 2017, the agency started recommending exposing children to peanuts “early and often.” Since that recommendation, the prevalence of peanut allergies has dropped significantly.Sharon Chinthrajah, a physician specializing in allergies and immunology, churns through the findings with Host Flora Lichtman.  Guest: Dr. Sharon Chinthrajah is a physician specializing in allergy and immunology at the Sean N.

Living with constant congestion, facial pressure, or a loss of smell can make daily life exhausting. For many people, these symptoms are more than just allergies or a lingering cold. They may be signs of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Dr. Rohit Katial joins Kortney and Dr. G to unpack what CRSwNP really is, how it develops, and why type 2 inflammation plays such a key role. Together, they explain what's happening inside the sinuses, what symptoms to look for, and when it's time to see a specialist. What we cover about CRSwNP: What CRSwNP means: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is long-term inflammation of the nose and sinuses that lasts 12 weeks or more. What nasal polyps are: Soft, fluid-filled sacs (often “grape” or “pea” sized) that block airflow and lead to congestion and smell loss. Why it happens: Type 2 inflammation drives CRSwNP. Immune messengers like IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 cause swelling and fluid buildup in the nasal lining. Who it affects: CRSwNP often overlaps with asthma, allergies, or aspirin sensitivity (AERD or Samter's Triad), making symptoms worse. When to seek help: If congestion, pressure, or loss of smell lasts more than 12 weeks, see an allergist or an ENT specialist. Early care can prevent sinus damage and improve breathing and quality of life. More episodes to support CRSwNP Ep. 101: What is Type 2 Inflammation?

atmosphere laden with the rich aroma of cocoa.Ca: Escultures de xocolata es mostraven amb elegància, i Martí volia aprofitar-ho tot per semblar un expert davant Laia.En: Chocolate sculptures were elegantly displayed, and Martí wanted to take full advantage to seem like an expert in front of Laia.Ca: "Sabies que la xocolata blanca en realitat no conté cacau?En: "Did you know that white chocolate actually doesn't contain cocoa?"Ca: ", va començar a dir, amb Oriol fent una mueca divertida darrere seu.En: he began saying, with Oriol making a funny face behind him.Ca: Van començar el tast de xocolata.En: They began the chocolate tasting.Ca: Martí va provar diverses varietats: de Madagascar, de Veneçuela, fins i tot una de Papua Nova Guinea.En: Martí tried several varieties: from Madagascar, Venezuela, even one from Papua New Guinea.Ca: La Laia somreia i assentia amb entusiasme, i Martí es va sentir com un heroi.En: Laia smiled and nodded enthusiastically, and Martí felt like a hero.Ca: Però una de les xocolates tenia un sabor estrany, i Martí va començar a sentir una lleugera picor al coll.En: But one of the chocolates had a strange taste, and Martí started to feel a slight itch in his throat.Ca: No va voler preocupar a Laia, així que va somriure i va fer veure que tot anava bé.En: Not wanting to worry Laia, he smiled and pretended that everything was fine.Ca: Oriol, sempre atent, va notar que Martí començava a posar-se vermell.En: Oriol, always attentive, noticed that Martí was starting to turn red.Ca: "Estàs bé, Martí?En: "Are you okay, Martí?Ca: Et veig una mica inflat", va bromejar, encara que amb una mica d'inquietud.En: You look a bit swollen," he joked, although with some concern.Ca: Martí va sentir que la picor es convertia en una cosa més forta.En: Martí felt the itch turning into something stronger.Ca: "Tot bé", va insistir, cada vegada més incòmode.En: "All good," he insisted, increasingly uncomfortable.Ca: La Laia es va adonar del canvi en Martí i va preguntar, preocupada, "Estàs segur que tot està bé?En: Laia noticed the change in Martí and asked, worried, "Are you sure everything is okay?"Ca: " En aquell moment, Martí va esternudar tan fort que gairebé va fer caure una figura de xocolata.En: At that moment, Martí sneezed so loudly that he almost knocked over a chocolate figure.Ca: La situació va ser tan còmica que fins i tot ell va haver de riure, tot i la picor.En: The situation was so comical that he even had to laugh, despite the itch.Ca: Oriol va córrer a la farmàcia del carrer quan Martí va admetre que necessitava antihistamínics.En: Oriol ran to the pharmacy down the street when Martí admitted he needed antihistamines.Ca: La Laia el va acompanyar fora, rient pels esternuts sorollosos que Martí no podia contenir.En: Laia accompanied him outside, laughing at the noisy sneezes Martí couldn't contain.Ca: Finalment, un cop Martí va estar millor, la Laia el va mirar amb dolcesa.En: Finally, once

Navigating food allergies is tough enough, but adding family dynamics to the mix can make things even more complicated. When loved ones don't understand you or your child's allergies or dismiss the rules meant to keep them safe, it can lead to conflict, hurt feelings, and stress for everyone involved. Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta sit down with psychologist Dr. Amanda Whitehouse to talk about how families can find common ground when emotions run high. Together, they unpack what it means to stay regulated in difficult conversations, how to set healthy boundaries with family members, and why understanding different coping styles can help prevent conflict before it starts. What we cover about communication and boundary-setting for food allergy families: Coping styles and conflict: Learn how different stress responses, such as “fight” versus “flight,” shape how partners, parents, and relatives react to food allergy challenges. Staying calm and regulated: Understand how your body reacts to stress and how recognizing those signals can help you stay grounded during tough conversations. Setting and holding boundaries: Get practical tips for explaining what feels safe, keeping communication clear, and responding calmly when others push back. Working together as a team: Whether it's with your partner, kids, or extended family, learn how to support each other and stay united when emotions rise. Bridging family differences: Explore ways to include children and siblings in allergy safety, and approach older relatives with patience and compassion when views or communication styles differ. ___ Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

For decades, allergists have focused on blocking what happens outside the mast cell: histamine, IgE, and interleukins. But now, there's a new way to stop allergic inflammation before it even starts: by targeting what happens inside the cell with BTK Inhibitors. Dr. Payel Gupta and Kortney are joined by Dr. Matthew Giannetti to unpack what BTK actually does and why inhibiting it represents an exciting breakthrough in allergy and immunology. Together, they explore how BTK inhibitors work, why this inside-the-cell approach is different from anything before, and what it could mean for people living with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). What the episode covers about BTK inhibitors: BTK explained: Bruton's tyrosine kinase is a pivotal “last step” before mast-cell degranulation. How BTK inhibitors work: Blocking BTK can stop histamine release downstream of many outside triggers. The science: Why BTK binding is irreversible for each molecule and how the body “re-makes” BTK over time. Safety in brief: A look at petechiae (small pinpoint spots), what to monitor, and how shared decision-making guides treatment choices. The future of BTK inhibitors: Exploring their potential role in other allergic conditions.    ____ Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.
