The Epidemiology of Multi-food Allergy in the United States –A population-based study
: Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergies (FAs) are increasingly common among US children and adults. Not only can living with FA impose considerable physical health impacts, it also imposes economic burden and can negatively impact quality of life. Limited data indicate that allergy to multiple foods (multi-FA) also may be common, but much remains unknown about its distribution and determinants.

Companies Are Adding Sesame to Foods. It ’ s an Unintended Consequence of a New Allergen Label Law
A new federal law requiring that sesame be listed as an allergen on food labels is having unintended consequences—increasing the number of products with the ingredient.
Food industry experts said the requirements are so stringent that many manufacturers, especially bakers, find it simpler and less expensive to add sesame to a product—and to label it—than to try to keep it away from other foods or equipment with sesame.
As a result, several companies—including national restaurant chains like Olive Garden, Wendy’s and Chick-fil-A and bread makers that stock grocery shelves and serve schools&mdas...

usamy
Chiggers are the larval stage of Trombiculidae and Leeuwenhoekiidae mites of medical and veterinary importance.

33207 Formaldehyde release from eyelash glues: Chromotropic acid method analysis
Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing chemicals can be found in consumer products due to its excellent preservative properties. Formaldehyde is a common allergen implicated in allergic contact dermatitis. The North American Contact Dermatitis Group highlighted a 7.4% prevalence of positive patch test reactions to formaldehyde, making it the fifth most frequent allergen. There has been a recent spike in eyelash extension popularity, but reports of acrylate allergies and formaldehyde in professional eyelash adhesives may limit users who then seek alternative options.

Food insecurity in children and adults with food allergies
Food allergy is a substantial public health concern associated with risk of severe or potentially life-threatening reactions and requiring life-altering changes in dietary habits. This increasingly prevalent health concern is associated with adverse medical, nutritional, psychosocial, and economic effects on the estimated 32 million affected individuals in the United States. Management of food allergy requires life-altering dietary modifications and constant vigilance to avoid implicated allergens to minimize the risk of anaphylaxis, which can lead to considerable anxiety and reduced quality of life.

A Fourth COVID-19 Vaccine, From Novovax, Passed a Key Stage in the Authorization Process
American adults who haven’t yet gotten vaccinated against COVID-19 may soon get another choice, as advisers to the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday backed a more traditional type of shot.
Next, the FDA must decide whether to authorize the protein vaccine made by latecomer Novavax as the nation’s fourth coronavirus shot for adults. It’s made with more conventional technology than today’s dominant Pfizer and Moderna shots and the lesser-used Johnson & Johnson option.
Novavax shots are already available in Australia, Canada, parts of Europe and multiple other countries, either for initial va...

Infant and child formula shortages: now is the time to prevent recurrences
Am J Clin Nutr. 2022 May 17:nqac149. doi: 10.1093/ajcn/nqac149. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn acute shortage of infant formulas in the United States occurred in early 2022, exacerbating a longer-standing less severe shortage over the last several years. The shortage has been particularly problematic for specialized formulas such as those needed for infants and children with food allergies, intestinal failure, kidney disease, and metabolic disorders. Although undoubtedly the magnitude of the shortage will abate over time, it has affected many children and caused tremendous distress for thousands of families. We propose a...
