A BBC weather forecaster and her family were kicked off a plane by the ‘angry little’ captain after asking passengers not to eat peanuts because of her daughter’s allergy.
Georgie Palmer, 49, her husband Nick Sollom, 48, and daughters Rosie, 12, and Annie, 14, were ordered off the SunExpress flight from London Gatwick to Dalaman, Turkey on Tuesday after telling the crew Rosie had an anaphylactic allergy to peanuts.

A little-known illness caused by a tick bite gives victims a serious allergy to red meat and affected an estimated 110,000 people between 2010 and 2022, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released Thursday.
The illness, called alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), comes from the bite of a Lone Star tick, which can be found mostly in the South as well as many Eastern and Midwest states. AGS causes serious allergic reactions to red meat

They had bonded as friends over their strange shared fate, where a
Präsident Bidens Plan, zur Senkung der steigenden Gaspreise in den USA beizutragen, wird kritisiert, weil er möglicherweise Asthmatikern und anderen Atemwegserkrankungen schadet.
Die Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) teilt DailyMail.com mit, dass der Plan, ein Verbot der Verwendung von E15-Kraftstoff über den Sommer aufzuheben, schädlich sein wird.
Der Kraftstoff besteht zu 15 Prozent aus Ethanol, daher der Spitzname, und gilt allgemein als umweltfreundlicher als typische Benzinsorten, verursacht jedoch eine geringe Luftverschmutzung, die Menschen in Bodennähe schaden kann.
