Allergies in kids seem to be on the rise, with no end in sight. As of 2021, the CDC reported 27.2% of kids in the U.S. had at least one allergic condition, and allergic rhinitis (AKA seasonal allergies) may be the most common chronic disease in the pediatric population. In addition, one observational study in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology found that food-induced anaphylaxis visits to the emergency room for kids increased by 214% between 2005 and 2014.
