Adding our horrific experience here too. Gave our baby a little bit of peanut powder at 7 months. About 2 hours later, vomiting like crazy, turned about as grey as a rain cloud, rushed to the ER blowing through stoplights.

We have never been so scared in our whole lives. Facing the very real loss of a child due to your own hand is a thing you never want to go through. I unreservedly have some good trauma from that experience. Took about a week to get back to normal, the dehydration was so bad and they could not get a vein for IV fluids.

We carry an epi-pen everywhere now.

Fun Fact: Allergy tests (IgG and skin prick) have a ~10% false negative rate and a ~50% false positive rate (!!!).

Adding to this list here as well... momma had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches nearly daily while pregnant and breastfeeding, and yet my son's first exposure to peanut butter as soon as he was able to safely have solid food showed he was allergic.
