Peanut allergy

Harry had a skin prick test the end of November, and came up as allergic to peanuts (wheal was 3mm). He was re-tested again last week (so just over a month later) and the wheal was 4mm.

He's being referred to an allergy specialist, but I was just wondering - those of you with littlies with peanut allergies, how severe is their allergy and what did the wheal measure in their skin prick test?

I know its not totally relevant- but I am allergic to bananas- badly allergic. And a few years ago I did a home test (not scientific as such!) Reason being- I developed the allergy in my teens, and having not been near them in years wanted to see if Id grown out of the allergy.
So- I scratched my forearm lightly with a sterilised pin... and rubbed a wee bit of babana on it. Within 5 min the scratch was swollen and red, and in 10 min my arm was affected too, and asthma was kicking in. I quickly downed some antihistamine, and washed it thoroughly... but wow! what a reaction- I guess Im still allergic.
I wonder if babies would have a similarly violent reaction if it was a major allergy???

Im not saying he hasnt got one, I have no experience of how they test babies for these things yet- just sharing my personal experience of a skin test.

I will need to do that with penicillin soon... just to be sure- I react this way with augmentin which is a penicillin based antibiotic- just never tested properly. I guess we should look into whether Locks is also allergic to it.
Guess thatll be a hospital visit.

We talked about parking up outside whenever we introduced a new food- just in case lol.
