“Why would someone with an allergy like that go to a seaside resort?”

Well, she thought if she just avoided eating seafood she would be fine. I suppose it could have happened in any restaurant, anywhere they served seafood (even though he didn’t eat any herself).

I may become a missionary for low to NO carb for various ailments, not just weight control. I went full carnivore except for garlic and coffee for well over a month, and yesterday I was doing my jog/walk (more walk, the heat was stifling) and I stopped at a convenience store to make a giant iced coffee. Unthinking I put sugar in it. I was actually down the road before I started cussing myself. Then when I did get to the grocery store where I was heading, I got my no-carb selections, and thought, well, since I’ve busted it anyway, it’s been a long time since I had a quart of ice cold buttermilk. And that’s all I did. In fact, I had nothing else for the day, because I wanted to work it out of my system and start “no-carb” clean the next day.

In the middle of the night I awoke with heartburn, and I realized that in a month and a half, I had never had heartburn until now. And in the morning, I had some dull aches that had been routine in my carbing past, but for the last no carb month and a half, had been absent. And my bad shoulder had flared up, which over the past month had faded away so it was no longer a hindrance at all.

I’m afraid starches and I must initiate divorce proceedings. It’s a toxic relationship. My religion however, requires occaisonal libation in it’s practices so Odin will have to bless the odd hard cider on a full moon ;)

I know. The girl dying at such a young age is so tragic, but the guy who delivered “the kiss of death” must also be so traumatized. Her poor parents.

Sad. I know people who are allergic to dogs and one to grass.

After sleeping with cats for 50 years I finally became allergic to them. My eyes and nose would itch and I awoke with a headache. If that happens with dogs I don’t know how I will manage.

What is it with this whole peanut thing?

Seems like we’re reading about severe peanut allergies every other day recently.

It really is quite strange. Everyone brought pb&j sandwiches to school back in the day, so to speak.

No kidding. Expiration dates are helpful but not absolutely. Some efficacy is better than none

I was born allergic to milk and almost died. The allergy disappeared and now I love milk.
I know a little boy with severe food allergies, won’t go into too much detail. He has other issues too. His mother has worked on his tolerance and he, now, is able to eat things that, 3 years ago, would have landed him in the hospital. He has an epi-pen in his backpack and she has one on her at all times.

Really sad for this guy. He probably had no idea she had an allergy - just a sad, unfortunately situation. I pray he works through it and her family shows mercy.

My inhaled allergies have gotten better, much better. My food allergies have gotten worse.

I think it has a lot to do with parents’ paranoia about exposing their infants to germs. They never allow their immune systems to fully develop. An immune system is like a muscle, use it or lose it.

I don’t know if it is true, but somebody said that those who are allergic to cats won’t be to dogs and vice versa. One person I know is apparently allergic only to short haired dogs, not long-haired.

Call the Texas Health Dept. in Austin. Their region includes the surrounding counties but they don’t go past the suburbs. You can’t pay them to go outside Travis and Williamson counties. They claim they don’t have the manpower. Couldn’t get them to even send someone to do a talk with the Scouts or 4-H. So, don’t come to Texas.

The last meat inspector stationed here quit 20+ years ago. I know because he was our next door neighbor.

I have never heard that, who knows. It is dander off the dog, not the actual hair that causes the problem. Some dogs have more dander, I guess.

I remember a cat we had that had extremely flaky skin, much more so than the others.

Your response is disappointing in that it shows blind normalcy bias, and ignores the fact that the drug company was compelled to include autism as one of a number of severe side-effects for the dTap vaccine.

US pharma childhood vaccine schedule is recklessly aggressive. As of 2015 a child receives 58 doses of 16 vaccines. Some of which are administered when they are newborns.
Japan, China and some European countries have adopted a more conservative vaccine schedule, and have also eliminated several vaccines after their national health authorities found the vaccines to be too risky in causing injury and deaths of children.

Italian courts have acknowledged that the MMR vaccine caused autism.
Sadly, US citizens don’t have the right to put pharma on trial for unsafe vaccines and recklessly aggressive schedules.
Pharma is immune from all vaccine lawsuits.
The only recourse for patients and family of vaccine injury and deaths, is to bring their case before the gov’t sponsored National Vaccine Injury fund.
To date, the fund has awarded TWO BILLION DOLLARS to victims.

The truth is coming out about US pharma’s negligence for promoting aggressive vaccine schedule that combining up to five different vaccines administer in one large dose.
The Donald accurately cited that as the reason why so many parents and pediatricians are concerned about vaccines causing neurological injury to children.

Thoughtfully chew on those facts.
The if you want to help parents have free dumb, volunteer locally to care for some of this nation’s millions of autistic children. (current national child autism rate is 1 : 60).

The Age of Autism: ‘A pretty big secret’
By DAN OLMSTED, UPI Senior Editor
Dec. 7, 2005 at 2:08 PM

CHICAGO, Dec. 7 (UPI) — It’s a far piece from the horse-and-buggies of Lancaster County, Pa., to the cars and freeways of Cook County, Ill.

But thousands of children cared for by Homefirst Health Services in metropolitan Chicago have at least two things in common with thousands of Amish children in rural Lancaster: They have never been vaccinated. And they don’t have autism.

“We have a fairly large practice. We have about 30,000 or 35,000 children that we’ve taken care of over the years, and I don’t think we have a single case of autism in children delivered by us who never received vaccines,” said Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, Homefirst’s medical director who founded the practice in 1973. Homefirst doctors have delivered more than 15,000 babies at home, and thousands of them have never been vaccinated.

The few autistic children Homefirst sees were vaccinated before their families became patients, Eisenstein said. “I can think of two or three autistic children who we’ve delivered their mother’s next baby, and we aren’t really totally taking care of that child — they have special care needs. But they bring the younger children to us. I don’t have a single case that I can think of that wasn’t vaccinated.”

Believe it or not, some of these protein allergies (the big ones, nuts, shellfish) may come from vaccines and their immune adjuvants given to NEWBORNS who don’t have immune systems yet.

Whatever your thoughts on vaccines (I think their current formulations and combos are ancient and GHASTLY and risk too much harm), there is absolute evidence that jamming newborns with immune shock is not good science. No one should receive them until age 2 and then only depending on total health in child and associated bacterial biome.

GlaxoSmithKline MMR vaccine clinical trial document provides ample evidence of adverse events from the vaccine, including five known cases of autism resulting from the vaccine’s administration during its clinical trials (see table at page 626, excerpt below).
