# Talk:Sesame allergy

Draft initially created by copying Shellfish allergy (an article I created). All shellfish specific content and refs are being removed, and replaced by sesame specific content and refs. Same process previously used for Fish allergy, initially copied from Egg allergy. Before that, I had raised existing Egg allergy (2017) and Milk allergy (2018) to GA status, and improved Peanut allergy, Tree nut allergy, Soy allergy and Food allergy, so a lot of the allergy content in this draft of sesame allergy that is not specific to other foods is from my prior work.

For this food allergy article, in main space as of 10 March 2022, the intention is to nominate it for Good Article status in June 2022. All improvements welcome. It it makes GA, it will join Milk allergy, Egg allergy, Fish allergy and Shellfish allergy. David notMD (talk) 09:22, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

GA nomination submitted 31 July 2022. David notMD (talk) 19:02, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
All help improving the article welcome. David notMD (talk) 17:11, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

I have volunteered to review this article and hope to have the review complete within a week, per GA review guidelines. I will use the table below for the review process and will update the table as the review progresses. From my first read of the article, I have a generally positive initial impression. The article will likely benefit from some copyediting, but I anticipate this to be a minor matter. Nolabob (talk) 10:26, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

@User:David notMD I appreciate your prompt resolution of the item in the table below about the "citation needed" tag. Nolabob (talk) 20:58, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
@User:David notMD, you state in the revised infobox that the specialty is emergency medicine. Wouldn't it also be allergy & immunology? This is a specialty in the world of medicine. Thanks in advance for the clarification. Nolabob (talk) 12:09, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

The added reference states that the prevalence of self-reported allergy is at (roughly) 0,49 percent, but self reported estimates of IgE-mediated allergies are known to be overestimations. The article states a more conservative figure of 0,23 that "met symptom-report criteria for convincing IgE-mediated allergy." So perhaps the old version of 0,1–0,2 makes sense?

The added ref duplicated an existing ref, so deleted. Also, I agree that self-reported estimates are higher than true, so reverted to 0.1-0.2%. David notMD (talk) 01:56, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
