Dottie--Watch the mangoes and cashews with your son. That family is pretty close!
And to all: I learned from the Discovery Channel that it's NOT the first exposure to an allergen that sees the first reaction. At least one exposure (and possibly more) are required to develop the antibodies that will cause the allergic reaction in some later exposure.
So if your child was stung by a bee once, don't breathe a sigh of relief that she's not allergic to bees. The first exposure is the ONLY one that you know WON'T cause a reaction!
