A comment from Allergy London’s - Prof. @DrAdamFox OBE: 🗣️It’s critical that the voice of the whole allergy community is reflected in the National Allergy Strategy 2025-35 so please get involved - deadline 28th November 2025. It’s a plan shaped by the voices of the entire allergy community, offering a vision for what allergy care in the UK could become. The final stage where we require your input again…👇 👉 Downlaod the current draft objective and tell us where you disagree or if anything important has been missed out. All comments will then be reviewed by a large group of representatives from all of the organisations involved in the NASG. We hope for a final document, which will be presented to parliamentarians and other key organisations, next April. Take part: nasguk.org - the two documents to download can be found on the homepage. The National Allergy Strategy is a project led by the National Allergy Strategy Group (NASG) which is a collaboration of the The British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology @BSACI_Allergy and the major UK allergy charities - @AllergyUK1 @AnaphylaxisUK and @NatashasLegacy

@melindiscott @jk_rowling I’m not quite sure what his point is but what category would he place women who have had a radical hysterectomy?

Women have fought (and are still fighting) the single biggest land grab on their rights in my lifetime. Some have sacrificed their livelihoods and safety to combat a pernicious ideology that has infiltrated elite institutions, including government. Women have been persecuted, harassed, smeared, roughed up and forced to take employers to court for discrimination. They've suffered severe detriments purely for believing what the Supreme Court has ruled to be reasonable and correct: that women are a definable biological class that has specific rights under the law to which males, however they identify, are not entitled. Do these politicians have any shame? They sided with the persecutors, the issuers of death and rape threats, the violent men demanding access to women's and girls' protected spaces, including domestic abuse shelters, rape crisis centres and prison cells. Will any of them issue an apology or admit that they made a serious error in siding with well-funded activist groups lying about what the law actually said, and which had measurable, severe impact on some of society's most vulnerable women? As another public wave of death threats is issued against women because of the Supreme Court ruling, their silence has become deafening. I'm just one of millions of women disgusted by the lack of accountability or remorse. We will not forget.

@HardRock hi how can I get an ingredient list for your burgers

You may have seen this as I have been out the loop this week … @FreeFromWriter @foodallergyuk @ad_rogers #mustardrecall #peanutallergy

“Farmers are key custodians of the countryside. The introduction of inheritance tax could lead to the fragmentation of farms, with land being sold off to developers or large agricultural corporations.” countrysquire.co.uk/2024/09/25/inh…

So far in 30 mins of lunch break I’ve phoned and established that the mustards made by the following companies or retailers are NOT implicated in the peanut contamination scare - @unilever_careUK @waitrose @Tesco

@foodallergyuk Ha! Yes& t-shirts !!!

@JaneRedfern2 Ha ohhh gosh I’m sure I have this coming! I would create a mural if he won’t go for a poster ;-)

My 21 year old son who is prepping for university has flatly refused my offer of a peanut allergy poster for his shared kitchen - 🤔think I’ll make one anyway #allergymum

@Lunalugirl @McDonaldsUK Which burger buns now have pea protein in ? My son has a legume allergy too - it’s getting to be in everything now 🤔

@McDonaldsUK is there any reasonable explanation for adding pea protein to your burger buns & nuggets? Cheap filler? Trendy ‘protein’ label? My allergy kid just lost a ‘safe’ food, very unhappy boy! You should research legume allergy #allergymum #legumeallergy #allergyawareness

Would recommend anyone with a peanut allergy in the UK steers well away from products with mustard powder - the list grows longer every day food.gov.uk/news-alerts/al… #peanutallergy

❓Allergy parents - questions to ask your school ▶️ Do they refresh their staff allergy training every year? ▶️ Do they have trainer auto-injectors for this? ▶️ Do they have an up-to-date care-plan in place for children with anaphylaxis? #foodallergy #allergyinschools

Shocked to hear that 1 in 3 people with anaphylaxis in England don't carry life-saving adrenaline pens, why is this? Is it due to budgets or allergy awareness with medical professionals? #anaphylaxis #foodallergies

1/2 This week I embarked on a data-driven 4 month health plan - thanks to Strava and an NHS app - makes it almost fun (sort of) #HealthAndWellness

Just discovered Sipsmith Freeglider, my new go-to AF tipple. Add ice, mint, a frozen blackberry or 2 & Mediterranean tonic …it’s not new to the market but new to me! #soberlifestyle #alcoholfree #HealthyLiving

A comment from Prof. Adam Fox following yesterday’s #thismorning show, where #foodallergies were talked about:

Is it real or is it biscuit? 🍪 We’re celebrating #NationalBiscuitDay with these crumb-elievable biscuit designs by @EllaMcHawk 🧵 First up, William Morris, 1884 - orange, cardamom, and vanilla 🍊

@NottsAlliance @SFHFT Please include the fact that 10 to 20 % of the time, symptoms will occur with no skin symptoms (hives) as in my sons case - there is a lack of awareness in A & E departments about this

Allergy Training Day (10 July 08.30-17.00) A study day for General Practitioners & GP Trainees taking place at @SFHFT’s Kings Mill Education Centre. Topics to include food #allergy update, GI issues in #paediatric allergy, management of #anaphylaxis, childhood #asthma & more.

Allergy sufferers - have you also experienced questioning whether you’re suffering an anaphylactic reaction at A&E because you don’t also have hives? Let me know #anaphylaxis @AnaphylaxisUK @FoodAllergyAW

🐱Errol arrived at our centre with sore, open wounds on his face and back. He is on pain relief and steroids, but needs expensive allergy blood tests. These will cost approximately £620 altogether, so we would really appreciate your donations to help him: bit.ly/VetBillsAppeal
