2yo possible allergic reaction to honey mustard dressing?

[Anonymous]

Probably just reaction to acid in mustard.

I’ve seen kids do it with ketchup too. Not an allergy, just a reaction to acidity.

It’s not a myth.

Early and frequent exposure *can* reduce the prevalence of food allergies.

Does that early exposure will eliminate the possibility no?

Your anecdotal experience doesn’t override real data. But it’s clear you don’t understand the study.

Since people development allergies later in life, exposure is not the actual solution.

Exposure decreases the number of allergies on a population level. It doesn’t mean no one develops allergies post exposure; it means most people are less likely to develop allergies post exposure. PP with the three kids with tree nut allergies is very unlucky and that sucks and probably has a genetic component given that it’s all three kids.

THIS JUST happened to my 2 y.o. toddler tonight which is why I went to google and searched “bojangles honey mustard rash.” She has had honey mustard several times with no issue so it’s very strange that it happened tonight. Like you, the rash is only in her face in the exact areas she had honey mustard but nothing in her hands. I immediately put her in the bath and washed it off with gentle soap. She seems completely unbothered by the rash and it is currently not spreading outside of it’s areas of origin.
