Fierstein JL, Brown D, Gupta R, et al. - By analyzing surveys from the Patient Registry established by Food Allergy Research & Education, researchers investigated the frequency as well as the context of food-associated allergic reactions in children and adults. The most recent reaction survey was completed by 3,054 respondents, of those, 9.9% of food allergen exposures were categorized as intentional, 82.1% as unintentional, and 4.8% as medically-associated. Overall, food-associated allergic reactions were identified to be common in patients in a national food allergy registry, and a non-negligible number of intentional reactions were reported. These observations suggest the requirement for inquiry on reactions in and out of the emergency department as well as intentional risk-taking behavior.
