Our lab’s latest paper is out now in @ameracadpeds.bsky.social Pediatrics!

We find that peanut and all-cause anaphylactic food allergy prevalence has reduced in US kids under 3 since the issuing of early allergenic food introduction guidelines!

Really enjoyed speaking with @npr.org’s Leila Fadel this morning about the science behind early allergen introduction in infants — and why it's both safe and effective. Grateful for the thoughtful conversation!

New analysis links early peanut introduction to fewer peanut allergies, informed by AAAAI member input. https://ow.ly/XFu550Xf9Kk
Some 60,000 kids have avoided peanut allergies due to landmark 2015 advice, study finds
About 60,000 children have avoided developing peanut allergies after 2015 guidance upended medical practice by recommending introducing the allergen to infants starting as early as 4 months, a new study finds.

New perspective paper is out! I put forward a hypothesis about the immunologic relationship between #IgE-mediated #food #allergy and #EoE, and discuss future research questions that I feel should be a priority for the field. I hope you enjoy it!

The immunologic relationship between #IgE-mediated #food #allergy and #EoE has long been an unknown. I delve into this important topic in a new Perspective article out now in @aaaaiorg.bsky.social's Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
