Another reaction ....

*sigh*  It seems that we just get a handle on things, then something else happens.  William was at a birthday party on the weekend and ended up having a reaction to the birthday cake.  Thankfully, while unpleasant, it was relatively minor.  But the problem we run up against, again, is labelling.

Theoretically, it should have been okay, as he hasn't had reactions to anything previous to this to things (other than sulphur dioxide) that were present in concentrations under 10 ppm.  That's now changed, as while there were no sulphites explicitly present in the cake, there were ingredients (which I normally avoid at home) that are either exposed to or contain small amounts (under 10 ppm) of sulphites.  So we're going to have to be even more vigalent to make sure that he's not getting those things, either.  Until I can determine the specific culprit, I think we'll be bringing more of our own food to events like these.

    Hi Laura,

    I hope all is well with you. Healthline just published an infographic detailing the effects of anaphylaxis on the body. This is an interactive chart allowing the reader to pick the side effect they want to learn more about.

    You can see the overview of the report here: http://www.healthline.com/health/anaphylaxis/effects-on-body

    Our users have found our guide very useful and I thought it would be a great resource for your page: http://anaphylactickid.blogspot.com/2013/04/another-reaction.html

    I would appreciate it if you could review our request and consider adding this visual representation of the effects of anaphylaxis to your site or sharing it on your social media feeds.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    All the best,
