SUMMARY:World EoE Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:AAFA and KFA join GAAPP (The Global Allergy and Airways Patient Platform) in recognizing World Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) Day on May 22\, 2025. \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

SUMMARY:National Eosinophil Awareness Week 2025
DESCRIPTION:AAFA and KFA join the American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED) in recognizing National Eosinophil Awareness Week\, May 18-24\, 2025. 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:Food Allergy Awareness Week 2025
DESCRIPTION:We set aside this week during Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month to 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.
