Explore the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, management, and prevention of food allergies; identify common allergens on labels. Learn to use an epinephrine auto injector to recognize anaphylaxis signs.
Understand how the immune system reacts to foods misidentified as harmful, triggering histamine release and a range of symptoms, including immediate and delayed onset allergies and common allergens like peanuts.
The gut microbiome is an ecosystem of bacteria, yeast, and viruses shaping the immune system. Imbalances trigger allergies; a diverse microbiome lowers risk of food allergies and prudent antibiotic use.
Vitamin d supports immune function; low levels may raise allergy risk, including asthma, rhinitis, and food allergies, so sun exposure and diet maintain 600–800 iu adults and 400–600 iu children.
Explore why allergic cases rise after the COVID-19 pandemic, examining how immune system changes, inflammation during infection, and pandemic-related stress and lifestyle shifts may heighten allergy risk.
Explore how maternal stress during pregnancy may increase the risk of children's food allergies. Choose a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3s to reduce this risk.
Study peanut allergy, a common immune reaction to peanuts. Learn symptoms, labeling and reading food labels, avoidance, and using an epinephrine auto injector in daily life.
Understand how enzyme shortages cause food intolerances, from lactose, fructose, and sucrose to histamine intolerance, and learn symptoms like bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
Explore how anaphylaxis arises from an immune overreaction to food allergens and triggers a rapid systemic response. Learn how epinephrine autoinjectors act as the first-line treatment.
The EpiPen is a brand name for an epinephrine auto injector that treats severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis by delivering epinephrine to counter histamine, swelling, and breathing difficulties.
Learn the pathophysiology and emergency management of anaphylaxis in the ED, applying ABC, early intramuscular epinephrine, airway protection, bronchodilators, IV fluids, antihistamines, and steroids as needed.
check the expiry date on the EpiPen, remove the grey cap, engage the mechanism to inject adrenaline into the casualty's upper outer thigh, then call emergency services.
