I grew up with tons of allergies, most of which I outgrew. At 32, though, I still have yet to outgrow my alcohol allergy. I will definitely come back for information that you will share.

Hello Ruth:
Thank you for your Allergy Focus and fruitful Informational contributions. While most people measure the Year with Holidays, Birthdays & Social Events ...
Some Measure their year by the Allergy Seasons.
I would welcome you to visit some of my Replies for direction as to How you can Neutralize YOUR Allergy Disease. With regard to your Posting, may I focus on your Son's Allergy Status because it is terribly Important that his ALLERGY Progression is STOPPED before it translates to a LifeTime of Allergy Disease & Misery (sorry , but true). To begin, the CHILD Allergy APPLE Does NOT Fall Far from the Parent ALLERGY Tree. 1 in 3 Infants begin Life with Allergies. While often trivialized and dismissed as a nuisance that a sufferer has to “Live With”, Allergy is the Rodney Dangerfield of Chronic Diseases ..No Respect. What Allergy Sufferers Do NOT Know is that “UnTreated” ALLERGY is a LifeTime, Cumulative, Progressive Chronic Disease. For Infants, who are genetically predisposed to Allergy, the Progression of Allergy Disease is called Allergy MARCH. Allergy March first manifests itself ( 6-12 mo. ) with FOOD Allergy via Eczema, G.I., Throwing up & Behavioral Symptoms.
As the MARCH continues, FOOD Allergies may or may not subside, but are then joined by Allergy to Environments i.e. Dust, Mites with classical and other types of Enviro Symptoms.
Unfortunately, unless this March is Treated / Neutralized, Allergic ASTHMA can likely be the next Disease MilesStone of Allergy March. And once the Allergic Asthma Cow is Out of the Barn ( established as early as age 6 ).. there is no getting it back IN ( Ouch ! ) ! And the MARCH Does NOT Stop there. But rather, as UnTreated Allergy Continues / Exacerbates… It Leads a Sufferer down a LifeTime, Slippery Slope of further recalcitrant Diseases, Health Complications and severely compromised Quality of Life ( LifeTime Ouch ! ). May I suggest that your Son be Allergy Blood Tested for common FOOD ( Immediate & Delayed ) and Enviro Allergens.
Once his offending allergens are Identified that can be Addressed / Neutralized via Enviro ImmunoTherapy DROPs and DIET for his FOOD Allergy. Ruth..
You are NOT alone. Many Mothers / Fathers are Fighting their Child's ALLERGY Disease Progression and Feeling Helpless when they Do Not See Improvement. It is my hope that Knowledge such as this BLOG, will give Parents the Understanding they Need to be their Child's Advocate and help their Child in their Fight to Say NO To ALLERGY !
