Does Anyone Have Advice How To Help Others Understand How Severe An Allergy Can Be!?
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am newly diagnosed (less than three weeks) and my husband just is not getting how severely allergic I am to shellfish! He made me react twice. The first time was a learning curve! Second time he used a pan and didn't clean it well I used it later to cook land I ended up in the hospital! I know it takes awhile for everyone to learn to live with allergies but does anyone have advice that would help to speed the process along! Thanks so much!!!

Does Anyone Have A Reaction To The Food That Causes A Reaction Hours After Ingesting The Particular Food?
A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a severe tree nut allergy, and I tried the challenge approach in the allergist's office. After 5 hours I ingested one whole almond, but because I did not show any symptoms in the office he told me I could eat almonds (ha, ha). I didn't have a reaction until 2 hours later. My tongue began swelling. Needless to say, I stay away from all tree nuts!
