Most anecdotes I read said the 8-15 year (I'm year 9) scale for the allergy to fade if at all, I don't recall what they said they had for reactions/accidental allergen dosages during their years though. Accidental allergen exposures happen once in a while, as you get used to the diet and learn hidden sources of allergen, they happen less. There's been no point in time when I thought I had to test if the allergy had gone away yet because I can usually remember a recent small or big hive from the past year. Right now I think I'm at least 1.5 year without hives, probably thanks to quarantine forcing a more controlled diet. Since about my second year of being allergic I've been very well adjusted to my fish/bird meat only diet and have no insatiable desire for a steak so I'm OK waiting another few years before purposefully trying anything dangerous. |

I know someone who went into full anaphylaxis from inhaling aeroplane food on a flight, requiring both injectors, they were in their late 40s.
I know someone who was able to reintroduce cheese and that worked for them.
The variance and time to affect seems to vary depending on the person.
My ex partner has a reaction petting my dogs who've been running out in the yard rolling in wallaby poop.
It's bloody awful affliction :( It prevents you from being able to enjoy many activities that most people take for granted.
The good thing is bird is pretty versatile! Duck is amazing, where I live you can buy duck chortizo. Groups I've joined on Facebook that are USA based are doing Emu briskets!
My ex goes and gets a test every once in a while that measures some level that they can use to tell if it's getting better or worse.
The crazy thing is that the local schools ban peanut butter but a sausage sizzle as they're called here (cooking like 50 sausages at a time for a fundraisers) are all totally OK, despite the allergy being an ongoing issue for the local area (just like in the USA, it's localised).
