[quote=Anonymous][quote]There is such a thing as a mild allergy. It often looks like negative scratch tests but positive IgE tests along with some observable reaction (like vomiting) when consuming the food. This is my son’s situation for fish and shellfish.[/quote] There is no such thing as a mild allergy. My daughter had a "mild" nut allergy that we thought just resulted in itching, then went into anaphylaxis from eating something with "processed in the same facility" language. And, as a PP noted, people can react with anaphylaxis to a food they have eaten many times. You never know how you will react, which is why you should carry EpiPens/AuviQ/Neffy and inject if there is one severe symptom or two mild symptoms.[/quote]
