Allergy to sunflower seed and sunflower butter as proposed vehicle for sensitization
Conclusions:
A case of sunflower allergy in the context of household consumption of sunflower butter has not yet been reported. We suggest that homes which are intentionally peanut-safe may provide an environment whereby infants with impaired skin barrier are at increased risk of allergy to alternative ?butter? products being used, via cutaneous exposure to these products preceding oral introduction to the child.

Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria: Pathogenesis and Treatment Considerations.
Authors: Kaplan AP
Abstract
The treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria begins with antihistamines; however, the dose required typically exceeds that recommended for allergic rhinitis. Second-generation, relatively non-sedating H₁-receptor blockers are typically employed up to 4 times a day. First-generation antihistamines, such as hydroxyzine or diphenhydramine (Atarax or Benadryl), were employed similarly in the past. Should high-dose antihistamines fail to control symptoms (at least 50%), omalizumab at 300 mg/month is the next step. This is effective in 70% of antihistamine-refractory patients. H₂-recepto...

Meat reintroduction in a patient with alpha-gal allergy
A 56-year-old woman presented to a drug allergy clinic for evaluation of a possible allergic reaction to acetaminophen. Two months before presentation the patient took 1000mg acetaminophen for pain relief and five hours later awoke with pruritic hives that resolved with diphenhydramine. Two weeks later, she took acetaminophen and developed pruritic hives four hours later, this time with vomiting, cramping, pruritic mouth, and sensation of throat closure. These symptoms resolved with diphenhydramine.

9 Hacks To Get Your Best Sleep This Allergy Season
Seasonal allergies or asthma affect more than 60 million Americans, according to estimates, and more than 75 percent of those people report their allergies cause them to lose sleep, resulting in drowsy days.
Unfortunately, it’s easy to bring lots of allergens from the outside into our bedrooms. They unknowingly cling to our clothes, hair and pets, and can land on our garments in closets and drawers, carpeting, drapes and upholstery (did somebody say “dust ruffle”?).
Indeed, one of the worst offenders is dust. Did you know that up to 80 percent of the dust in your bedroom either was or still is alive, and is a majo...

Why Does My Nose Run - And Other Common Allergy Questions
Allergies got you down? Wondering how to get relief? Namrata Shidhaye, MD, a family physician at Duke Primary Care Waverly Place, helps sort out the causes and cures for your annoying runny nose.

Top 5 Tips On Traveling With A Life-Threatening Food Allergy
Traveling with a food allergy or other dietary restrictions can be a scary experience. It’s even more scary when you have had a near-death allergic reaction. Several years ago, I had an allergic reaction after eating some contaminated food in Spain. Thankfully, I survived that trip, but I’ve been much more prepared and cautious during my travels.
Here are my top 5 tips:
1. Bring multiple EpiPens.
EpiPens are the single most important thing to take with you because they buy you time to get emergency care. A few minutes can mean life or death. In my Spain case, the nurse said that if my travel partner, Daraius, h...
