"Study shows caregivers' allergy perceptions are not always accurate"

Quote"It's assumed peanut and tree allergies are the most severe, and therefore it may be presumed they would cause the most strain for caregivers" said allergist Laura Howe, MD, lead study author and ACAAI member. "But because eggs and milk are everywhere, and used to prepare so many dishes, caregivers with children allergic to those two ingredients feel more worried and anxious."

I'm not surprised by this.  The caregivers have legitimate concerns.

Also, egg & milk allergies can be severe.

Also, mild past rxn don't guarantee that future rxns won't be severe.

Just seems like some caregivers didn't fully understand the severity of past rxns? 

Having thoughts of the anxiety thread.
