Hello,
My son (4) has a nut allergy - tree nuts and peanuts to a lesser degree. He is not one of those kids who walks by a bowl of peanuts and goes blue but he is definitely allergic and we carry epi-pens. We've travelled with him to Canada and the States before we found out he was allergic but nowhere else.
My grandfather has offered to pay for an all expenses family reunion. The current plan is Mexico, in the Mayan Rivieria, at an all inclusive resort. I don't know much about Mexican cuisine but I think this area is fairly touristy and international. However, I was a vegetarian for years and was always surprised by people who thought that if it just had chicken stock in that didn't count! So I'm well aware that just because a place is touristy doesn't mean it is allergy friendly.
My sister-in-law (who is allergic to tree nuts) has stayed in that area and said she actually had an allergic reaction while she was there. I also understand that the nearest hospital is hours away.
I'm really worried about this. Has anyone else had any experiences of this?
Thanks in advance!
