		<description><![CDATA[Answer: as soon as possible.
For a number of years, medical societies recommended that the introduction of highly allergenic foods to a child&#8217;s diet should be delayed.  It was hoped that this would reduce the incidence of food allergies.  In reality, it probably did the opposite.  There are now numerous published studies showing that food avoidance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The practice of infecting yourself with parasites to treat allergies and asthma has been mentioned  in the press a few times over the last couple of years.  It seems a bit extreme and, frankly, gross, but it actually makes some sense immunologically.
The immune system has a bunch of different parts and the part that causes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t write much on specific drugs, but I think this will be of interest to lots of allergy patients.  Long-standing allergy sufferers will remember the good old days of aerosolized nasal steroid sprays.  Many patients greatly preferred the dry, aerosol spray over the wet, aqueous pumps.  Unfortunately, the aerosols went away when their propellant, CFC, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is some new data out on the safety of a couple of asthma drugs.  One, omalizumab or Xolair, isn&#8217;t very commonly prescribed, but can be an essential medication for certain asthmatics.  The others are salmeterol and formoterol- the long acting beta-agonists or LABAs.  I&#8217;ve written about the issue of LABA safety on numerous occasions.

		<description><![CDATA[I see lots of cases of hives and I&#8217;m often struck by how many have been previously seen in an emergency department for control of their outbreaks.  I also frequently see patients for evaluation of hives when their rash is something altogether different.  So, dear reader, here is a quick primer on what to do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The AAAAI just published new guidelines regarding food allergy.  The text is 60-odd pages of dense reading, but it does contain some new stances and one, in particular, that I&#8217;ve been harping on for some time.  I&#8217;ll quote the text:
