My son has a tree nut allergy, and they crop up in the darndest things. Thankfully, here in the US, all ingredients are labeled, so I spend forever in the stores, reading the ingredients on food for either tree nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc) or mushrooms (which tend to be hidden in the frozen tv dinners, in the gravies and things
My DD2 is allergic to soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorants, sorbelene, chlorine all adhesive tapes and Band-Aids as well as surgical gloves, or more likely the chemical they use to stop the sticking together, even unpowdered gloves. She now wears a medic alert bracelet so if I am not around if she had to go into hospital some one may twig that they have to be careful. She had a blood test yesterday and forgot to stop them putting a Band-Aid on her arm. Thank goodness she remembered as soon as she walked out of the clinic or we would have been in trouble. I accidentally forgot and changed washing powder 2 weeks ago and she has had to have nearly a week off school fighting off dermatitis. I just have to be alert all of the time. I know we're not the worst off, but it does make you aware of how much effort people have to go to. We were going to go to the Wet and Wild theme park in summer but before we go I have to find out if the water is chlorinated or if they use salt filtration. You just never stop having to think about these things. I wonder if there are more allergies around now or if we just notice them more? Cheers, Yvonne.
