  • Understanding Alcohol and Allergies: Hidden Risks and Reactions

    Understanding Alcohol and Allergies: Hidden Risks and Reactions
    Nov 4 2024
    Because ethanol is too small of a molecule for the body to make antibodies to, there really is no such thing as an "alcohol allergy," but that doesn't mean patients can't have a reaction to substances found within alcohol. In this episode of ImmunoCAST, we address the clinical challenge of distinguishing between alcohol intolerance and true allergy. Tune in as we explore histamine intolerance, sulfite sensitivity, and ALDH2 deficiency, as well as hidden allergens in alcoholic beverages, the role of alcohol as a cofactor in allergic reactions, and specific allergens found in wine and beer. Discover how to diagnose and manage alcohol-related reactions by learning more about the importance of detailed patient history, specific IgE testing, and the implications of enzyme deficiencies.

  • The Overlooked Allergy Season: Challenges with Fall Allergies

    The Overlooked Allergy Season: Challenges with Fall Allergies
    Oct 7 2024
    When we picture a patient struggling with respiratory allergies, our mind might immediately jump to spring allergy season. However, fall allergies, while often overlooked, can cause patients to experience reactions just as severe due to the combination of outdoor triggers and viral season. Tune in as we discuss the history of ragweed, its impact on public health, and its connection to oral allergy syndrome. We also dive into the role of outdoor mold as leaves decompose, the impact of flu season, and the importance of managing indoor allergens such as pet dander and dust mites. Listen now and gain helpful tips on how to diagnose, prepare for, and manage patients this fall season.
