Abstract
Sesame allergy is the ninth most common food allergy in the United States, and reports suggest that the prevalence is increasing.1 Sesame allergy develops in early infancy and is seldom outgrown.2 In Canadian children, sesame allergy had a higher annual rate of accidental reactions than peanut (15.9% vs 12.4%, respectively).3 Sesame-induced anaphylaxis accounts for 43% of all food-induced anaphylaxis cases in Israeli children,4 but little is known about the prevalence of sesame allergy among the Americans of Middle Eastern or North African descent (MENA) currently residing in the United States.
