I knew she was allergic to eggs, which also came back as level 2 in the RAST test, but the peanut is new. Obviously she's never had peanuts (she's 2 1/2) and she's also never eaten egg - just reacted on skin contact. Can anyone explain what this 'level 2' actually means? Especially with regards to her egg allergy - might she be okay with well cooked egg yet? Or do you have to have a lower RAST before considering a cake challenge?
PS consultant happily prescribed epipen for the peanut allergy... at least we'll have it to hand should we ever need it.
