Shorter, But More Severe Allergy Season Predicted After Record-Setting Winter
BOSTON (CBS) — It’s hard to think about allergy season when there’s still snow on the ground.
But after a winter of record-setting snowfall, there’s good and bad news for allergy sufferers in the Northeast, according to one expert.
First the good news: Allergy season will probably be a little shorter this year.
“The classic maple, oak and birch that cause many of our spring allergy symptoms will be pollinating later than usual,” says Dr. Tanya Laidlaw, director of Translational Research in Allergy at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “We’ll probably get a few days to a week or so of a shorter season.”

Teal Pumpkins Help Make Halloween Food Allergy-Friendly
DRACUT (CBS) — One in thirteen kids has a potentially life-threatening food allergy, which can make Halloween downright frightening.
But this year, there’s a way to tell which homes are safe for all kids: Teal pumpkins.
Instead of carving, pumpkins, Joan Powers and her kids – 5-year-old Jack and 4-year-old Tessa of Dracut, are painting their pumpkins. Teal is the color of food allergy awareness, something the Powers family knows a lot about.
Jack is allergic to synthetic food dye — anything that has a color with a number after it. Tessa is allergic to shellfish.
There’s not much to worry about with a shel...

Millions Wrongly Think They Have Penicillin Allergy
BOSTON (CBS) – Claire Branman is among the millions of Americans who think they have a penicillin allergy.
It’s something that’s been listed on her medical records since she was a kid, “because my mom told me when I was a baby I had an allergic reaction,” she told WBZ-TV.
At 26 years old, Claire is now getting an allergy test to find out for sure.
And here’s why: “Ten-to-fifteen percent of the U.S. population thinks that they are allergic to penicillin. But, in actuality less than one-percent are truly allergic to penicillin,” explained Dr. Aleena Banerji, an allergist at Mas...

Food Allergy Detection Device Could Remove Danger Of Dining Out
BOSTON (CBS) – Clare Maloney-Kolenberg is high school junior from Winchester who is looking forward to traveling to Spain on an exchange program with her Spanish class.

It’s a list that can make dining out a bit dicey, even in familiar restaurants near home. But once you add unfamiliar foods and a language barrier, that increases the odds of a reaction.
That’s exactly what happened when Clare ordered ice cream on a trip to Germany with her family.
