I have had an allergy to many types of nuts for many years now,so i've learnt to stay well clear of them.My son however loves them,and sadly he's showing the same sensativity that I have.
The first time he had a reaction was when he ate pecans,he broke out in a horrible rash and said his mouth itched.
Second was after eating walnuts.This time he felt sick and light headed,again with an itchy mouth.
Third reaction was to peanuts and this scared the hell out of me because it ended in a trip to the ER,he now carries around an EpiPen.But this isn't the answer,and twice he's gone into anaphylactic shock,once at school (he's 6) and once at a friends.I've explain to him that nuts will make him ill and he understands that,i've even asked him to explain it back to me to make sure,but he eats them anyway.Can someone please suggest a way I can make him understand how much of a danger they actually are?
