The Itch: Allergies, Asthma & Immunology
#138 - Prevalence of KIT D816V in anaphylaxis or systemic mast cell activation

Clonal mast cell disease is often missed because symptoms vary from person to person, tryptase levels can be normal, and bone marrow biopsies are hard to get. For some people, unexplained or very severe anaphylaxis may be an early sign of a clonal mast cell disease. In this episode, we review “Prevalence of KIT D816V in anaphylaxis or systemic mast cell activation,” published in October 2025 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. This paper, known as the PROSPECTOR trial, is looking at how often the KIT D816V mutation can be found using a blood test in adults who have had anaphylaxis or systemic mast cell activation symptoms. We break down why KIT D816V matters, how it connects to systemic mastocytosis, why HaT needs to be considered, and how newer blood tests may help doctors catch clonal mast cell disease earlier. What we cover in our episode about KIT D816V and anaphylaxis: Setting the stage: Understanding mast cell activation and anaphylaxis. Why KIT D816V matters: How this mutation fits into clonal mast cell disease, what blood testing can reveal, and when doctors still turn to a bone marrow biopsy. Making sense of tryptase and hereditary alpha-tryptasemia (HaT): Why baseline tryptase, the “20% + 2” rule, and HaT can make screening more complicated than it seems. What the PROSPECTOR trial uncovered: How often KIT D816V appeared in people with anaphylaxis, and other results on tryptase and HaT. How this helps patients: What these findings mean for anyone with unexplained or severe anaphylaxis, and how doctors combine KIT testing, tryptase, HaT, and symptoms to decide on next steps.

“It's kind of like we opened a Pandora's box and trying to close it up again is going to be very hard.” —Dr. Zachary RubinDr. Zachary Rubin joins Dr. Mariam Hanna for a candid look at the “difficult and misinformed” patient — the growing phenotype every allergist now manages weekly. A double board-certified pediatrician and allergist-immunologist with a massive social media footprint, Dr. Rubin breaks down how misinformation spreads, why it resonates, and how clinicians can approach these encounters without burning out or burning bridges. From TikTok-fuelled certainty to patients demanding full panels, he offers a practical, clinician-first playbook for navigating the mess.On this episode:Why today's misinformation is stickier, faster, and more emotionally charged than a decade ago, and how parasocial trust amplifies it.How the “nugget of truth” inside misinformation gives it power and how to dismantle it without escalating conflict.A clinic-ready strategy to approach resistant patients: open-ended questions, triaging what must be corrected now, and focusing on one actionable change at a time.Why continuity, follow-up, and small pieces of information over time often outperform a single “big correction.”How to use shared decision-making to reframe testing and treatment choices, especially when patients arrive convinced they need “the full panel.”Practical tools to support patient understanding, including targeted education resources, structured discharge summaries, and multimodal materials for different learning styles.How teams can protect each other through debriefs, preparation, and collaborative communication during high-stress encounters.A grounded, real-world conversation for clinicians who balance patient frustration, digital misinformation, and the realities of modern allergy practice.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

to discover new plant specimens and perhaps make some significant discovery.Sr: Његова сестра, Мила, увек га је подржавала.En: His sister, Mila, always supported him.Sr: "Мислим да треба да пазиш на себе, Данило," рекла је забринуто кад је кренуо у башту без лека за алергију.En: "I think you need to take care of yourself, Danilo," she said worriedly when he headed to the garden without allergy medication.Sr: Али Данило је одлучио да ризикује.En: But Danilo decided to take the risk.Sr: Док је шетао шумовитим стазама, прилагођавајући се окружењу, Данило је узимао узорке.En: As he walked the wooded paths, adapting to the environment, Danilo collected samples.Sr: Са њим је био и његов колега Петар, који је често имао практична решења за све проблеме.En: With him was his colleague Petar, who often had practical solutions to all problems.Sr: "Слушај, Данило, ако се не осећаш добро, врати се," саветовао је Петар.En: "Listen, Danilo, if you're not feeling well, go back," advised Petar.Sr: Данило је био упоран.En: Danilo was persistent.Sr: "Још мало, Петре.En: "Just a little longer, Petar.Sr: Мислим да сам близу нечему.En: I think I'm close to something."Sr: "Али убрзо након тога, Данило је осетио тегобе.En: But soon after, Danilo felt unwell.Sr: Његово дисање је постало тешко, а срце му је убрзано куцало.En: His breathing became labored, and his heart raced.Sr: Алергијска реакција била је опака.En: The allergic reaction was severe.Sr: Петар је хитро реаговао, помагајући му да седне на најближу клупу.En: Petar quickly reacted, helping him to sit on the nearest bench.Sr: "Морамо да потражимо помоћ," рекао је хитро, а Данило је климнуо, принуђен да призна порекло своје невоље.En: "We need to seek help," Petar said urgently, and Danilo nodded, forced to acknowledge the cause of his trouble.Sr: Када је опасност прошла, и док је седео на клупи у врту, Данило је дубоко удахнуо и размислио о својој ситуацији.En: When the danger passed, and he was sitting on the bench in the garden, Danilo took a deep breath and contemplated his situation.Sr: Било је време за промену.En: It was time for a change.Sr: Озбиљно је прихватио своје стање и схватио да његова љубав према биљкама не мора да искључи пажњу на своје здравље.En: He seriously accepted his condition and realized that his love for plants didn't have to exclude attention to his health.Sr: Доневши одлуку, Данило је позвао Милу и Петра, говорећи им о својој новој идеји.En: Having made a decision, Danilo called Mila and Petar, telling them about his new idea.Sr: Уместо истраживања биљака, почеће да проучава алергије и њихове узроке.En: Instead of researching plants, he would start studying allergies and their causes.Sr: Његова мисија сада је била да помогне другим људима са истим проблемима.En: His mission now was to help other people with the same problems.Sr: "Увек сам говорила да природа има свој начин уређивања ствари," рекла је Мила са осмехом.En: "I always said nature has its way of arranging things," said Mila with a smile.Sr: Тако је, у шаренилу јесени у Београдској ботаничкој башти, Данило пронашао нови пут.En: Thus, amidst the autumn colors in the Belgrade Botanical Garden, Danilo found a new path.Sr: Његова страст је остала неизмењена, само сада је имао нову сврху - да помогне другима, као и себи, у борби са алергијама.En: His passion remained unchanged, only now he had a new purpose - to help others, as well as himself, in fighting allergies.Sr: Јесен је постала симбол новог почетка за њега.En: Autumn became a symbol of a new beginning for him.

Persistent congestion, pressure, or a reduced sense of smell often gets mistaken for allergies or a stubborn cold when it may be something more, like chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Getting the right diagnosis is the first step toward real relief. Dr. Tonya Farmer, a board-certified ENT, joins Kortney and Dr. G to explain how chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is diagnosed. She walks us through the full evaluation: what symptoms matter, what a nasal endoscopy actually shows, when a CT scan is needed, and how type 2 inflammation fits into the picture. What we cover about diagnosing CRSwNP: Key symptoms: Persistent congestion, drainage, facial pressure, and especially loss of smell are major red flags for CRSwNP. Why duration matters: Chronic means 12 weeks or longer. If symptoms keep coming back or never truly improve, it's time to look deeper. The physical exam: ENTs use nasal endoscopy to see swelling, mucus, or polyps that aren't visible from the outside. When CT scans are needed: Imaging helps confirm sinus inflammation and shows the extent of polyp growth. Additional testing: Allergy testing, IgE levels, eosinophils, and other immune markers help identify type 2 inflammation and guide next steps. When to see a specialist: If antibiotics, steroids, or over-the-counter treatments aren't helping, ask for a referral to an allergist or ENT. Early diagnosis can prevent worsening symptoms and reduce the need for surgery.

Avoidance has long been the standard for managing food allergies. But new options, such as oral immunotherapy (OIT) and biologic medications like Xolair (omalizumab), are changing the landscape. With more choices available, many patients and parents are wondering how to start the conversation with their allergist and what questions to ask. Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta talk with Dr. Shahzad Mustafa, a board-certified allergist and immunologist, about how patients can navigate today's food allergy treatments with confidence. Together, they explore what to consider before starting OIT or Xolair, how to set realistic expectations, and why strict avoidance is still the right choice for many families. What we cover about food allergy treatment options: Food Allergy Avoidance: Why it remains an effective and valid approach for many, and how to make it work in daily life, including the nuances that make every case unique. Oral Immunotherapy (OIT): What it involves, who it's best suited for, and what families should know about time, cost, and safety.

Can anxiety about food safety quietly shape the way an entire family eats, lives, and loves? In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller, LMFT, talks with Tamara Hubbard, LCPC, founder of The Food Allergy Counselor and The Academy of Food Allergy Counseling. Together, they explore how food allergy anxiety can affect both children and parents, sometimes leading to ARFID-like eating patterns and significant emotional distress. Tamara shares her journey from being a parent of a child with a peanut allergy to becoming a national leader in the field of food allergy mental health. She discusses how chronic fear and misinformation can cause families to become trapped in cycles of hypervigilance and restriction. She and Dr. Marianne also examine how therapy can help families move toward flexibility, autonomy, and connection at the table. Listeners will hear how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and values-based approaches support parents in balancing safety with freedom, and how addressing anxiety can improve both emotional well-being and quality of life. Key Topics Covered The difference between food allergies and food intolerances and why accurate understanding matters How food allergy anxiety can spread through families and mimic ARFID symptoms The role of parental fear in shaping a child's own food relationship and daily life The risks of restriction-based medical advice, including some functional medicine practices How ACT and mindfulness tools can help parents tolerate fear and stay connected to their values Ways to calm the fight-or-flight response and reduce hypervigilance around food and safety Why collaboration between therapists and allergists creates stronger, safer support for families Who This Episode Is For This episode is for parents and caregivers who want to understand how food allergies, anxiety, and ARFID intersect in family life. It is also for therapists, dietitians, and healthcare providers who want to learn how to support families with evidence-based, trauma-informed, and values-driven care.

"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!

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.

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.
