🚫 Food Allergy Myths vs. Facts 🚫
Misinformation about food allergies isn’t just frustrating-it can be dangerous.
👩⚕️ At Cure Allergy Clinic, our Board-Certified Allergist treats these cases daily, and here’s what families need to know:
🥜 Peanuts ≠ Tree Nuts: A peanut allergy doesn’t always mean all nuts are unsafe, but only an allergist can confirm through testing.
⏳ Outgrowing Allergies Isn’t Guaranteed: While milk and egg allergies may fade, peanut, tree nut, and shellfish allergies often persist for life.
⚠️ “Just a Little” Can Be a Lot: Even trace amounts or cross-contact can trigger serious reactions.
🌡️ Not Just Stomach Symptoms: Hives, breathing issues, swelling, and anaphylaxis are all real risks.
💉 Epinephrine = Preparedness: Carrying an auto-injector doesn’t mean an allergy is “severe”—it means you’re ready for the unexpected.
📌 The takeaway? Food allergies are complex, and every case is different. That’s why personalized testing and treatment are so important.
