Component testing - would you abandon your Epi-Pen?

Thank you, boo!!


Our household has two kids with entirely different LTFA experiences and test results.

While I don't hold much hope that son (now 13) is going to be deemed NOT allergic to pnut (bi-phasic reax at 11 months and lots of contact and other big reax) . . .

I'm hopeful for daughter.

(But I'm betting hazelnuts are radioactive for her, so it really won't matter in the end, I'm afraid . . . with all the Xcontam, etc.)

Besides, I think she'll likely never touch a pnut out of love and devotion to brother.

This component testing may be useful as a component    of overall diagnosis and management of LTFA . . .

I'd like meaningful risk assessment.  Hopefully that will be attainable in my kids' lifetime.  Maybe even in mine.

These testing breakthroughs and other studies are finally giving me hope.

Ever so slight sliver.

But hope, nonetheless.

I think I'm not alone.
