DS(3yrs) had a massive reaction to egg at 9mnths and a skin prick test confirmed his allergy. He had a negative test about 10 months ago but we haven't reintroduced egg as he has persistant dihorrea and it would be difficult to tell if he had any reaction.
Anyway my dad got him to help mix marie rose sauce (with mayonaise) and within minutes he was covered in hives, wheezing and swelling up. A repeat skin prick test came back negative, although the positive control reaction only 'measured' 1mm and was invisible to the naked eye. On the strength of the skin prick test ds has been discharged from his consultant. I'm feeling a bit let down and wondered if anyone else had had a -ve test but was still allergic?
