ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What do thunderstorms, pancake mix, and sweet-and-sour sauce have in common?
Each may hold an unexpected clue to an allergic reaction. To prepare for the 2026 ACAAI annual conference, we look back at some of the interesting research from last year's meeting. Drawing from five studies presented at ACAAI 2025, this episode explores unusual allergy presentations and the diagnostic challenges they pose for clinicians. Discover research on thunderstorm-associated asthma exacerbations, oral mite anaphylaxis linked to contaminated flour, IgE-mediated reactions to carmine dye, and a surprising food allergy investigation involving peach and apricot. The discussion also examines emerging evidence connecting peanut-specific IgE and Ara h 2 levels with a history of anaphylaxis. From environmental triggers and hidden allergens to clinical history, specific IgE testing, allergen component diagnostics and interpretation of diagnostic results, these studies offer practical insights to help healthcare providers investigate unexplained allergic reactions and make more informed patient management decisions.

With 29 million golfers in the U.S. and an estimated 7.25 million affected by spring allergies, seasonal respiratory symptoms can meaningfully affect performance and daily function. This episode explores how tree and grass pollen exposure, overlapping sensitizations, and indoor allergens can combin…
A large 2024 study found that a comprehensive respiratory allergen profile captured more than 98% of seasonal sensitizations, highlighting a major challenge in respiratory allergy care: testing with single allergens can miss the full picture. In this episode, we explore the most optimized regional …
Food allergy diagnosis is still too often driven by tests instead of history, leading to unnecessary restriction and missed opportunities for targeted care. In this episode, we invite Dr. Anna Nowak-Wegrzyn, a leading researcher in food allergy and Director of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Divis…
Dr. Ruchi Gupta, board-certified pediatrician and founding director of the Center for Food Allergy and Asthma Research (CFAAR), and PA Gary Falcetano joined forces on a Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) webinar to discuss nuances and insights for managing food allergies across a patient’s …
Asthma affects over 26 million people in the U.S., yet outcomes can vary dramatically based on factors beyond disease severity. This episode explores the critical gap between diagnosis and optimal asthma control, focusing on how socioeconomic status, access to care, and environmental exposures shap…
