For some children, even trace amounts of peanuts could lead to anaphylaxis. @DBVTechnologies has created a skin patch that could give them the help they need. leaps.org/food-allergies/ @FuchsWriter @NutFreeWok @UNC_SOM @StanfordMed

Do people with #peanutallergy need to worry about eating foods cooked in or containing peanut oil? It depends. Read & learn important differences between refined & unrefined peanut oil & food labeling requirements in different countries. @NutFreeWok @MountSinaiNYC #foodallergies

Twitter is not the same anymore. I do not tolerate misinformation and don’t have the bandwidth to be @ with it. This option is helpful for my mental health but not toward meaningful dialogue which I love. gadgetstouse.com/blog/2020/0…

Being appreciated doesn't just make you feel good. It helps you get stronger. Evidence: receiving gratitude improves cardiovascular stress responses, boosting resilience and performance by turning threats into challenges. Being thanked fortifies our bodies along with our bonds.

Many ask: If a person is peanut-allergic, is peanut oil safe? While the answer's often 'yes,' @ScottSicherer of @MountSinaiNYC says it's vital to know the type of oil & if a food maker or chef is informed. Dietitian @VenterCarina also weighs in. +@Nutfreewok on aware dining.

A real tragedy given that mould is an identifiable / modifiable aeroallergen. A thorough respiratory-focused clinical history should always enquire re environmental exposure to pollution, smoke, aeroallergens e.g. pets, dust mite, mould, pollen… news.sky.com/story/two-year-…

An Allergic Living reader wonders about introducing #treenuts that her daughter is NOT allergic to, and how to avoid #crosscontact in the process? Allergist Dr. Scott Sicherer of @MountSinaiNYC factors in both practical & theoretical perspectives in his answer. Read & learn:

A question on how to support patients who can’t fill epipen RX because of cost- a disappointing but not unexpected problem. Speakers recommend using samples + price checking pharmacies and brands to find better options #ACAAI22

To go a step further - egg allergy has ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT on the ability to be vaccinated against flu. Current guidelines from AAP & CDC recommend *not even asking* a patient about egg allergy, because the risk to such patients is really no different than the general population
Hospitalizations for flu are at their highest levels in a decade. Get your flu vaccine, even if you have egg allergy. #fluvaccine #eggallergy #allergist abcnews.go.com/Health/flu-ho…

Here's one of my favorite recipes from my cookbook, Chinese Instant Pot Cookbook. It's a Chinese style duck leg recipe, cooked with soy sauce and 5 spice, and ridiculously easy but incredibly special, suitable for an intimate celebratory meal. nutfreewok.com/duck-legs-ins…
