Not a problem. Because I have been asking this question for a year now to my dd4 allergist. So now I will have him to the food challenge to see if she really has a peanut allergy.My daughter never ate peanuts or peanutbutter she hated the smell.
Last Jan she had her eye swell shut. took her to the ER kept her over night. Couldn't find anything wrong. So sent me home to see allergist. Prick tested her (she has severe Ecezma(sp?) and got a small reaction not enough to say yes or no. So he went with yes she has it. We will check her in a year. So go last week and he wants to wait for summer. I want her tasted tested before she start Kinders. in Sept.
