Food allergies and conditions such as asthma, eczema, and nasal allergies are all related. Because of this, many children with food allergies also have these conditions. These conditions are all part of something called the allergic march.
Do you know about the allergic march? This is the name for the natural history of allergic diseases. This refers to how allergic diseases progress in a person over time. It usually starts in infants as dry skin. It can then progress to eczema (atopic dermatitis), food allergy, nasal allergies, and asthma.
John James, MD, board-certified allergist, and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) will explore the allergic march in our upcoming webinar.
During the webinar, we’ll talk about:
- What the allergic march is
- Stages of the allergic march
- The allergic march’s connection to asthma
- If there are ways to prevent and protect your child from the allergic march
Sign up now for our webinar on Thursday, March 7, at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT). You can submit your questions when you register.
