Baby’s first trip to the emergency room today for an allergic reaction. He’s fine, but is definitely allergic to eggs. We get to navigate learning food allergy land while the next appointment with the allergist isn’t for three months 🙃

I remember as a kid, getting injured &/or really sick every time I went to a movie theater..... as in passing out cold & vomiting over Imax showing something on butterfly migration....multiple rounds of facial/throat swelling before we realized I'm allergic to MSG, like my now late mother, and yes bumps, bruises & twisted ankles from trips & falls before I'd even get to the concessions area... The excuse & explanation set I was given was that as cheap as movie theaters were, the real price was enduring those awful conditions & that whenever I saw prices rise sizably I should expect that they'd fix those many problems.....

Now it's been 20 years since their prices shot upwards & if anything the theaters are less accessible for #disabled like me than ever. Movies available at those theaters are worse in storytelling than ever. Movies that never get to those theaters (real indies) are better than ever, with home theater systems cheaper & better than ever..... and somehow the death of Movie theaters, is now all being blamed on the horrible streaming platform that is #Netflix ???

Science got #PeanutAllergies all wrong – until the scientific method got it right

By Meg Tirrell, November 3, 2025

Excerpt: "It was a question Dr. Gideon Lack asked often, when giving lectures to fellow allergists and pediatricians on the topic of food allergies: How many doctors in the room had a patient allergic to peanuts?

"Normally, 'virtually every doctor would have put up their hand,' Lack said. Peanut allergy is one of the most common food allergies, affecting more than 2% of US children, with a similar prevalence in the United Kingdom, where Lack was practicing.

"But at a lecture in Tel Aviv, Israel, about 25 years ago, the audience’s response took Lack by surprise. Only two or three out of about 200 raised their hand.

" 'I said, ‘Wait, this doesn’t make sense,’ he recalled recently. 'I was practicing in London, which has a big Jewish community, and I was seeing a high frequency of peanut allergy amongst Jewish children who share similar ancestral background.'

"Lack and his colleagues’ investigations into why, which played out over the next 15 years, led to last month’s remarkable finding that the incidence of peanut allergies in the US – after a precipitous rise – appeared to have fallen dramatically.

"It turned out that the guidance parents and pediatricians – and Lack himself – had been following, to avoid giving peanuts to babies and young children to try to prevent the development of dangerous allergies, was completely backward.

" 'By thinking we were protecting them, we were actually causing the problem,' Lack told CNN.

"The story of how he and his colleagues proved that was the case is a primer in the scientific process.

‘Mother, father, Bamba’

"There’s a joke in Israel that the first three words babies learn are 'mother,' 'father' and 'Bamba,' Lack said – for the peanut puff snacks that Israeli parents give babies when they’re very young.
'They’ve sort of become a national snack,' he noted, pointing out that the joke is actually 'a truism.'

As he had conversations with the doctors there, as well as parents of young children, 'They all told me one very clear thing: ‘We give peanut snacks to our babies from between 4 and 6 months of age.' "
