Strawberry Allergy

Second encounter, the culprit: Raspberries. Like the strawberry reaction we had a few weeks ago, we've had another and maybe even slightly worse (I'm pretty sure two of the spots were hives). I wish that we would have recognized this sooner, as each and every exposure to the fruits has the potential to make the allergy worse. So it is no strawberries, raspberries, or kiwi until The Boy is at least two when we will try again. I guess it's good we are now heading into a season without fresh berries, so the absence from our diet won't be so hard to manage.

What do you know about food allergies? Is your child allergic to berries? Something else?
