[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry for all the silly and unkind comments you're getting here. Life-threatening allergies to common foods are really scary -- and even more terrifying when they're your kid's. I am sure you have already looked into this, but just in case -- there are an ever-increasing number of practices offering oral immunotherapy. This can work, even for severely allergic children! It can make a deadly allergy into one that is annoying but not life-threatening. And when it does work like that, my god it is miraculous.[/quote] I should've deleted "oral" -- there are various kinds of effective immunotherapy, some involve injections instead of ingestion. Again, I'm sure you've looked into this, but in case you hesitated because it seems like madness to deliberately give your kid something they're allergic to, I assure you, it can and does work and when it does, it is ABSOLUTELY worth every moment of anxiety or discomfort surrounding it.[/quote]
