World Allergy Awareness Day is observed on October 16th and aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by individuals with allergies. It highlights the various forms allergens can take, including foods, pollens, insect stings, and medicines. The day encourages communities to learn about allergy triggers, recognize symptoms, and support those affected. Typical actions include hosting awareness chats, sharing allergen-free snack ideas, and promoting clear food labeling. Participants often wear teal to raise visibility and engage in activities like quizzes about allergy myths. Health groups worldwide collaborate to improve understanding and care for those living with allergies, making the day a significant event for advocacy and education.
