#225 A GP's Guide to Allergies with Dr. Alison Muller

Twenty-five years ago, having a baby daughter struggling with severe hives turned GP Dr. Alison Muller into an accidental allergy guru - and general practice has been better for it since. She unpacks IgE vs non-IgE reactions, why 10% of one-year-olds now have a genuine food allergy, why smearing avocado oil on eczema is asking for trouble, and why anaphylaxis rates are up 900% in twenty years. Plus she gives us the practical tips we need such as weight-based antihistamine dosing, the three-ingredient "magic cream" for infected eczema, and why putting your clothes in the dryer for ten minutes might be the cheapest allergy hack around.

If you have ever ordered a RAST and had a result telling you that someone is "allergic to grass" and not really known what to do next, or you've wondered whether desensitisation is worth the needles (and what exactly is involved?!), then this podcast is for you. Alison covers exercise-induced food anaphylaxis, FPIES, and even Neffy - the new nasal adrenaline spray that might finally get more people to use their emergency treatment when it counts. A great one not to miss!
