SUMMARY:Food Allergy Awareness Month 2026
DESCRIPTION:During National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month\, we also focus on food allergy awareness. \nA food allergy occurs when the body’s immune system sees a certain food as harmful and reacts by causing allergic symptoms. Foods that cause allergic reactions are allergens. \nAbout 20 million people in the U.S. have food allergies (16 million adults and 4 million children). We commonly hear about children with food allergies. But people can develop a food allergy at any age. Many adults develop food allergies even without a prior history of allergies. \nThere is no cure for food allergies. The only way to prevent an allergic reaction is to avoid the food you are allergic to. The good news is with the right steps\, you can manage your food allergies and live a full life. \nFind food allergy awareness information and social media tools on our Kids with Food Allergies website.

SUMMARY:National Eosinophil Awareness Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:AAFA joins the American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED) in recognizing National Eosinophil Awareness Week\, May 17-23\, 2026. The purpose of this week is to create awareness and educate both the general public and the medical community about eosinophil-associated diseases. \nEosinophils are a type of white blood cell. The purpose of these white blood cells is to help you fight infections. Sometimes these immune cells are over-reactive and cause inflammation in the body. When a person has elevated numbers of eosinophils in their digestive system\, tissues\, organs\, and/or bloodstream\, without a known cause\, they may have an eosinophil-associated disease. \nThe purpose of this week is to create awareness and educate both the general public and the medical community about eosinophil-associated diseases.

SUMMARY:Type 2 Inflammation (Allergic Conditions) Awareness Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) designates May 18-22 to be Type 2 Inflammation (Allergic Conditions) Awareness Week. Allergic conditions span a wide range\, including asthma\, seasonal allergies\, eczema\, hives\, food allergies\, nasal polyps\, and mast cell disorders. This community of diseases are connected and often overlap. For example\, it is common for babies who have eczema to then develop food allergies\, seasonal allergies\, and asthma – which is the leading chronic disease among children in the U.S. \nThese conditions are often connected by type 2 inflammation. \nWhat Allergic Conditions Are Connected? \n\nAsthma\nAtopic dermatitis\, a type of eczema\nAllergies (pollen\, food\, dust mite\, mold\, animal dander\, latex\, drug\, and other)\nEosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)\nPollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS)\, also known as oral allergy syndrome (OAS)\nNasal polyps\, also known as chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps\nPrurigo nodularis\nMastocytosis and mast cell activation syndrome\n\nIt is common for people with one type of allergic condition to have more than one of these diseases. If you have symptoms like coughing\, itching\, congestion\, sneezing\, or difficulty eating foods\, talk with your doctor. \nFor more information\, visit:\nMay Is Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month: aafa.org/awareness\nType 2 Inflammation: aafa.org/type2

SUMMARY:World EoE Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:AAFA joins the EoE Day Alliance in recognizing World Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) Day on May 22\, 2026. The theme selected for World EoE Day 2026 is “Food Should Not Hurt.” \nWhat is eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)? \nEosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic (long-term) allergic disease that affects the esophagus – the tube that carries the water and food you swallow to the stomach. When you have EoE\, eosinophils\, a type of white blood cell\, build up in the lining of the esophagus. Allergies\, mainly to foods\, cause this buildup\, and it can lead to swelling\, injury\, and inflammation. With EoE\, swallowing can become difficult\, or you might feel like food is getting stuck in your throat. \n#EoEDay aims to: \n\nRaise awareness of EoE and its symptoms\nEncourage people to seek medical advice for signs like difficulty swallowing or persistent reflux\nAdvocate for better care\, research\, and access to treatment
