1️⃣ Thanksgiving Guide — Plan Ahead

🦃📞 A safe Thanksgiving begins with communication.
Before prepping or shopping, contact guests to confirm everyone’s allergens. Clear communication reduces stress and last-minute surprises. Label dishes with full ingredients, create one allergen-free prep zone, and keep at least two epinephrine auto-injectors on hand throughout the day. Thoughtful planning = a joyful, inclusive holiday. ✨

🍽️🧼 Cross-contact is the biggest holiday kitchen risk.
Thanksgiving preparation gets hectic—wash hands, counters, and utensils between dishes. Prepare allergen-free foods first, avoid items labeled “may contain,” and always double-check sauces, glazes, and desserts for hidden allergens like soy, dairy, or nuts. Safe cooking keeps everyone celebrating confidently. 💛

🤝🍁 Thanksgiving is about connection, gratitude, and inclusion.
Inspect dishes before serving, skip unwrapped or homemade treats, and consider a designated allergen-free table to ease anxiety for kids and adults. Teach children polite ways to decline unsafe foods and focus on the joy of the holiday—not the stress. Safe celebrations bring families closer. ❤️

🩺📊 Myth: “A positive skin test means you’re definitely allergic.”
✨ Fact: A positive skin test only shows that your immune system recognized an allergen — not that you have a clinical allergy. Up to 50–60% of positive tests are false positives. True allergy diagnosis requires:
✔ Component testing
✔ Basophil Activation Testing (BAT)
✔ Detailed medical history
✔ Oral Food Challenge (when appropriate)

This is exactly why advanced diagnostics — like those offered at NYFA — provide far more accurate answers than relying on a single test.

🍞⚠️ Myth: “If you just take a small nibble, nothing will happen.”
✨ Fact: Even trace amounts of an allergen can cause a reaction — including severe reactions. Severity cannot be predicted by how much is eaten. Some react to micro-doses measured in milligrams. This is why Oral Food Challenges must ONLY be done in a medical office with a trained allergist — never at home.

🧠🥜 Myth: “Food allergies fade away once you reach adulthood.”
✨ Fact: Most adult food allergies do not disappear. Many adults even develop new allergies for the first time. Shellfish, tree nuts, and fin fish are the most common adult-onset allergies and often remain lifelong without treatment. Therapies like OIT and SLIT can dramatically improve safety and quality of life — even for adults with decades-long allergies.
