Allergy Test


Connor had his skin test for food allergies today. After his brush with the cashews in November, we wanted to find out exactly what the situation is.

He already had environmental allergen testing done in 2006, so this time they just tested a few foods. He had small reactions to peanuts, beans, peas, walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds. The doc said he probably isn't allergic to those. He had a big reaction to pecans and a huge reaction to cashews (the large welt on the right).

We left with a prescription for an EpiPen. I hope we never have to use it.
