  1. 🔥 psa for anyone taking quercetin on a regular basis 🔥

    this may be common knowledge and just previously unknown to me, but i've just today discovered that quercetin chelates iron/blocks iron absorption and can lead to anaemia and/or low ferritin levels. so if you're taking it regularly, please have things checked!

    (and if ferritin is low enough, just stopping quercetin won't be enough to bring it up and possibly neither will otc iron supplements, so please do get some numbers / help if necessary)

    i've just been in tears from finding this out as quercetin is one of the few things that helps me at all, and given i have no medical care, one of the few things i can access. i've been taking a decent dose daily for the past ... 13 years? but my ferritin was on the floor at my last blood test a year ago (ofc i couldn't find anyone to do anything about that). and i can't even take oral iron, not that it would help if i could, given my levels, but. yes. yay :blobsweatsweary:

    take care people and good luck :Blobhaj_Heart_Rainbow:

  6. KF94 masks are going up in price here in Korea. Glad I could secure a box for my family. (I’m at home most of the year so it’s not like we need to hoard.)

  9. The wide-ranging inquiry is a top priority for #RFKJr, who sees #vaccines as a “potential culprit” in various #neurological &#autoimmune disorders, including #asthma & #allergies [absurd]. It resurrects research into a number of ideas RFKJr has espoused, including whether vaccines are linked to #autism & whether thimerosal, a preservative that has largely been removed from vaccines in the #US but remains in some flu shots, is dangerous.

  10. How #climate#change makes your #allergies worse
    As #pollen season worsens, allergies compound with other #climate #health hazards.
    Quarter of US adults and 1 in 5 children have seasonal allergies. For those millions, spring weather brings sniffles, itchy eyes, asthma exacerbation, and other miseries, with effects ranging from mild symptoms to serious medical emergencies. Now, rising temperatures and #carbondioxide pollution are contributing to worsened pollen seasons.

  11. Seasonal Allergies Are Just Rust For Human Beings

    Why do people act shocked every single year that allergies exist? This writing prompt crawled straight out of my collection over at EricFoltin.com, because apparently my brain refuses to sit quietly and watch civilization scroll itself into oblivion. If you want to use it, steal away. Seriously. Just toss a link back to my site somewhere so the internet remembers where the madness originated. Gen X rules still apply: borrow the mixtape, don’t pretend you wrote the songs. Every single […]

  13. I think salting my food increases my reactivity. It's disappointing, since I don't have a lot of variety in my food or options for seasoning it. However, I went salt-free last night at dinner and I enjoyed it - the onions were still quite good.

    Though the focus is often on the sodium in table salt, in this case I think the issue might be chloride, so switching to KCl salt substitute would not help - but perhaps I should try it as a test.

  14. Ah, well, I guess that's why my nose and eyes are so upset whenever I spent time outside right now.

  15. I'm unsure what's going on with me at the moment... as far as I can tell however is that hayfever means that I need to use anti-histamines, which are in turn blocking my sinuses, and causing sleep disturbances including signs of low blood oxygen.

    I've been told that at night my snoring is earth shatteringly bad, and includes short periods where I am not breathing.

  16. Oh this summer is gonna be BRUTAL. Just had to do something for about an hour next to an open window and now I can barely breath.

  19. Use of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to suppress allergic hypersensitivity reactions -
    youtube.com/watch?v=LOnsjfECvr

    One of my main reactions is painful swallowing. I had an upper endoscopy to check for eosinophilic esophagitis but biopsies were normal - but I have the same symptoms as EoE. Pain is greatly reduced by drinking a baking soda solution.

    I first tried baking soda after I noticed that my symptoms were worse if drinking something acidic (lemon water), and improved if I drank something basic (Oatly oatmilk). I had not seen the video or heard of the Japanese case report.

  20. As a covid-aware person who sometimes must travel, I was recently pleasantly surprised to discover "Pure Wellness" hotel rooms.

    Only available in limited places, it was marketed as "allergy-friendly" & cost an extra $20/night, which I was happy to pay since the room comes with an air purifier (though it was placed at the side of the room and not in a central location) so it saved me the trouble of packing my own.

  24. ...#diabetes, food #allergies, #arfid (food aversion), gastrointestinal issues, specialized #diets, and #food prefs are not limited to the privileged...yet these needs are dismissed as invalid concerns for us who are "poor" or #homeless.

    ...also, little to no consideration is given for needs of hot or prepared meals to soothe right now hunger, or even a simple awarness that we lack access to cook or safely store items.

    *why hand out frozen chickens when lighting a fire would get us arrested?*

  27. CW: sores in mouth = no more persimmons for me

    😞
    I was cleaning out the pantry and noticed I still had dried persimmons. I had used them to make persimmon tea which is effective for GERD/heartburn. It's been quite a while since I last had the tea; I decided to to use them instead of tossing them.

    Today I have sores in my mouth. Previously I had the same type of sores from eating walnuts. Walnuts can trigger pemphigus vulgaris*. I looked up whether walnut and persimmon allergen are cross-reactive - yes, they are.

    We are moving away and leaving behind the persimmon tree I planted in the back yard, which ought to start fruiting this year. At least I won't be reminded of my disappointment in not being able to eat persimmons on a daily basis.

  28. Vous avez surement vu que le #RNSA, c'est fini. C'est le réseau #atmo qui va prendre le relai. Il existe néanmoins une plateforme collaborative (sur le modèle du réseau sentinelle pour les épidémies) c'est pollinair.fr/
    Il n'y a que quatre régions¹ mais je pense qu'il y a moyen que ça s'élargisse.
