Welcome back to episode 3. Numerous risk factors have been proposed to contribute to food allergy or sensitization, in this episode, I will address a few of the most researched genetic and environmental risk factors that increase the risk of developing IgE-mediated food allergy. If you would like to find out more please do visit my blog post which will detail everything that was discussed in the podcast. You can find the blog post based on this podcast on my website under blogs.

Image description: The image is an infographic, with a light green background. There is a cartoon mustard tub, celery stick and different types of nuts at the bottom left corner. At the bottom right corner there is a cartoon image of a glass of wine, milk carton, tofu, shellfish, crustacean, purple fish and one egg. On the top left corner there are three wheat stalks and sesame and lupin seeds as cartoon images. On the top right there is a logo with a green antibody in a white box. The logo has the words Allergies at the top of the antibody, the word with to the centre left of the antibody and the word Ayah to the centre right of the antibody. At the centre top of the infographic there is the words Allergies with Ayah in written in grey. The word episode 2 is written to the centre left of Ayah’s face. In the centre of the image there is a cartoon character depiction of Ayah. Ayah has brown long hair and is smiling. Ayah’s hand is together in two fists and she is wearing a purple top
