Purpose Of Review:
The goal of this review is to summarize the potential causes of anaphylaxis in the different holiday contexts, providing practical suggestions aimed to mitigate the stress challenged by allergic patients because of unfamiliar situations.
Recent Findings:
A regard was reserved to potential food triggers, particularly uncommon ones and typical of certain destinations, and to arthropods responsible for anaphylaxis.
Summary:
This review highlights the potential risk of anaphylaxis due to the unusual contexts more experienced during holidays (i.e., travels, outdoor activities and eating out). Moreover, it underlines the need for a further allergological education in these cases, in order to prepare allergic patients to avoid and manage undesired situations.

Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
