[b]I am allergic to the smell of fresh coffee...just a delightful allergy to have.[/b] You think avoiding nuts is hard!

If it makes grandparents uncomfortable, put a shirt on. Your kids will survive wearing a shirt.

My family weekend at the beachhouse led to me seething with rage at my SIL and sending her texts that should never have been sent...but they were true![/quote]

I've never heard/read about anyone having a 'histamine' reaction to the sell of coffee.  Are you sure you just aren't 'intolerant' of the smell?  Do you have reactions to other smells?[/quote]

I had a strong aversion to the smell of brewing hazelnut coffee when I was pregnant with one of my kids.  And I normally loved hazelnut coffee.  But when I got pregnant - ugh, could not handle the smell of it, made me so sick.

Interestingly enough, my son turned out to have a peanut allergy - tested and confirmed at the allergist when he was around 3 years old. We were lucky, he did later outgrow it.  But maybe that aversion to the smell of hazelnut coffee was my body's way of protecting my baby.[/quote]

Doubtful. You decrease the risk of peanut allergy by exposing babies to peanuts early.

Nobody is born with an allergy. Even for cow's milk protein allergy, which happens very early in infancy, it's a matter of a switch getting triggered in an individual with a propensity.[/quote]
