Unusual allergy triggers cause anaphylaxis in children and teenagers

When people think about anaphylaxis, peanuts, shellfish, or even bee sting often come to mind. Three medically challenging cases presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting show that severe allergic reactions can come from far less obvious places: a fish ingredient hidden in an energy drink, a natural hair oil and a popular children's sensory toy.

Your fitness may say less about cellular aging than you think

In a study of 84 middle-aged adults, researchers found that higher perceived stress and older age were associated with shorter telomeres, while physical fitness, body composition, and lifestyle habits showed no consistent independent associations. The findings suggest that telomere length may reflect psychosocial and health-related burden more closely than current physical performance, although the reported chronic disease association requires clarification because of an inconsistency in the paper's statistical coding.
