Re: [insectstings] Re: Yesterday

Hi Maggie,
 
Joe has taken it as only a 12 year old boy can! Everything from " They didn't do the test properly"... to... " a wasp wouldn't even give me a 10th of a sting..only a tiny sting, so I'll be fine"
 
Won't discuss immunotherapy. Boys!!! How I wish he was little and easy going again!!!

So sorry Roz - how has Joe taken it?

Will they test him again in a year or so? One of my son's friends
(now 15) appears to have grown out of a nut allergy that produced
anaphalactic shocks when he was 3.

So frustrating to have a taste of freedom for it to go again.

Thanks for letting us know.

Maggie

That is very disappointing for you and a new burden of responsibility to consider too. I hope the reaction was not too unpleasant - I think the whole sting...
