My 10 year old nephew had allergy testing done after developing huge lumps from mosquito bites. He s allergic to mosquitos and bees. The doctor insisted on food allergy testing. Parents were told he has severe allergy to peanuts. This child eats peanuts and peanut butter by the spoonful with no problems. How can he be highly allergic to peanuts?
Hi...a kid who eats peanuts and stays healthy cannot behave allergy to peanuts. Other food allergies may co-exist. But what you are quoting could be an insect bite allergy -the lesions which are now there. By what you quote it seems rather like a skin allergy which is unlikely to be food allergy. Food allergy apart from skin manifestations might have some sort of gastrointestinal manifestations like vomiting or diarrhea or pain in the tummy. Regards -
