AllergyTalk Episode 62: Do Household Laundry Products Contribute to Asthma?

Today we are joined by Dr. Vivian Hernandez-Trujillo, the Division Director of Allergy/Immunology at Nickalus Children’s Hospital, a Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the Herbert Wertheim School of Medicine, and an assistant editor of Allergy Watch. We will be reviewing the May/June 2026 issue of Allergy Watch, a bimonthly publication which provides research summaries to College members from the major journals in allergy and immunology.
