He's still showing mild reactivity on scratch tests so they drew blood to see when broken down which protein he reacts to as one is more life threatening than the other. We're still waiting for the blood results. If it is the less reactive one, they will do a food challenge where he has to eat a small bit of nut to see what happens. So far, it isn't looking good, but we should know by thew end of this week.

I think a dairy allergy must really be tough as it is hard to avoid.<br /><br />@Veronica<br />Danny enjoys the santa cap as it is warm, and fits over all that hair of his. Today is the day-I'll keep you updated how it goes.<br /><br />@Sue<br />Yeah, dogs might be trained to behave around a tree (our poodle was about Oscar's size and he ignored it) but cats? No way! Cats will be like, "Oh look, the humans bought us a tree to play with. Cool!"<br /><br />@Beate<br />Thank you. He tells me when he becomes a teenager in a few weeks it will be his job to act sullen. At least I've been warned. <br /><br />@Vix<br />Thank you, I hope so too, but we're being realistic about it. Now that he's older he can manage better in public places but when kids are small and they touch everything and put their hands in their mouths it is best to keep them away from the allergens. Peanuts are a major food at US ballparks. He won't get sick being next to someone eating nuts unless they're an asshole about it and spread it about (I guess that's the new bullying to throw nuts at allergic kids. Sigh. Just when you think society can't get worse). <br /><br />@Bobbi<br />Thank you-we're keeping our fingers crossed. <br />The treat bags are nice if you don't quite have enough ornaments to fill out a tree. If you bake the gingerbread with something like crisco (instead of butter) they will stay fresh longer.<br /><br /><br /><br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-11473657833100780072017-12-05T04:39:55.408-08:002017-12-05T04:39:55.408-08:00Your tree is gorgeous!

He is however allergic to just about every possible mould out there (including penicillin and blue cheese) so it isn't impossible that was the culprit-though honestly, I think it is peanuts and tree nuts. We'll know soon enough. <br /><br />I developed a severe allergy to clove after it was used to pack the dry socket in my mouth after the tooth extraction. god knows how long it was building up (I've had a lot of dentistry done) but that last time was the breaking point. Scary as hell as I'm the sort of person that tends to ignore things like rashes from my latex allergy (which I know will catch up with me). Now you have me wondering if perhaps I'm developing an intolerance to sesame rather than clove? Yikes. You're right-sesame is everywhere.

That's where the kissy stuff came from - Getting romantic under a tree's naughty bits - those ancients were real kinks. <br />Hah! I love the decorated yard turkeys. I'd never heard of Vermont nut free chocolates - thanks for the link as good chocolate is hard to find nowadays.<br />Sesame seeds are a fairly common allergen too. Neutrogena & a lot of 'natural' skin care & home remedies have sesame oil in them. We used to see 3-4 people a month come into the pharmacy with an allergic reaction to sesame oil (everything from contact dermatitis to full blown anaphylaxis.). The clove oil/eugenol they sell as an otc toothache remedy uses sesame oil as a diluent- it's in a lot of things you wouldn't think of.Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.com
