Allergilist

Allergilist is a term that appears sporadically in informal or industry contexts to describe a person who collects, curates, and analyzes information about allergens and exposure sources. It is not an established medical or regulatory title, and it is not widely recognized by major professional organizations. In practice, the word may be used to denote a data-oriented or educational role rather than a clinical one.

The term differs from allergist, or allergist-immunologist, which refers to a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats allergic diseases and related conditions. An allergilist, if used, is more likely to refer to someone involved in data management, information curation, or consumer education related to allergens. Typical duties might include compiling lists of known allergens, maintaining allergen databases, contributing to labeling standards, assessing allergen risk in products or environments, and producing educational materials for patients and the public. Such a role would draw on knowledge of immunology, toxicology, regulatory requirements, and information management.

Origin and usage: allergilist seems to be a neologism formed from allergy and list. Its usage is informal and context-dependent; where precision is required, more specific terms such as “allergen data curator,” “allergen information specialist,” or “allergy information professional” are preferred. In formal medical discourse, the term is unlikely to replace established terminology.
