In the 9th century, Persian physician Rhazes (al-Razi) described wheezing, swelling, and itching that appeared immediately after eating certain foods. His extensive medical work al-Hawi contains some of the earliest accounts of food-induced asthma and hives.

He emphasized that people react differently to the same food — an early insight into individual immune sensitivity centuries before the word allergy existed.

In ancient Rome, the physician Galen documented swelling, breathing trouble, and rashes that appeared after certain foods. Though he viewed these reactions through humoral theory, his descriptions closely resemble what we now classify as food-triggered allergic responses.

His records are among the earliest clinical links between specific foods and predictable physical symptoms.

In 1906, Austrian pediatrician Clemens von Pirquet coined the word allergy after noticing children had stronger reactions to repeated exposures from vaccines and serums. His idea of “altered reactivity” created the foundation for the entire field of allergy medicine.

This single term helped unify centuries of unexplained symptoms into one scientific concept, shaping the future of modern immunology.

1️⃣ Thanksgiving Guide — Plan Ahead

🦃📞 A safe Thanksgiving begins with communication.
Before prepping or shopping, contact guests to confirm everyone’s allergens. Clear communication reduces stress and last-minute surprises. Label dishes with full ingredients, create one allergen-free prep zone, and keep at least two epinephrine auto-injectors on hand throughout the day. Thoughtful planning = a joyful, inclusive holiday. ✨

🍽️🧼 Cross-contact is the biggest holiday kitchen risk.
Thanksgiving preparation gets hectic—wash hands, counters, and utensils between dishes. Prepare allergen-free foods first, avoid items labeled “may contain,” and always double-check sauces, glazes, and desserts for hidden allergens like soy, dairy, or nuts. Safe cooking keeps everyone celebrating confidently. 💛

🤝🍁 Thanksgiving is about connection, gratitude, and inclusion.
Inspect dishes before serving, skip unwrapped or homemade treats, and consider a designated allergen-free table to ease anxiety for kids and adults. Teach children polite ways to decline unsafe foods and focus on the joy of the holiday—not the stress. Safe celebrations bring families closer. ❤️
