VIDEO: Allergy myths misdirect patients, physicians


 

AT 2014 AAAAI ANNUAL MEETING

SAN DIEGO – Is there really such a thing as a hypoallergenic dog? (Bo Obama, we’re looking at you.) Can blood tests for sale on the Internet identify a child’s allergies? And must parents wait until a child is 1, 2, or 3 years of age to introduce dietary milk, eggs, or nuts?

Dr. David R. Stukus of Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, answers these questions and dispels other allergy-related misperceptions in an interview with us at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.
