Default Idea

I have severe allergies and I have a question for you. I went through 2 years of shots and still take a pill and 2 nose sprays everyday (just to show how insane my stupid allergies are). I also used to carry and Epi pen. I have all environmental allergies, no food allergies thankfully.

Have you switched your laundry detergent recently? If you have, try switching back your old kind. If not, did the maker change the formula at all? Believe it or not, I can only use one kind of detergent because if I switch, I get nasty hives....everywhere. My mom tried switching brands several times and I had similar reactions to your son. There is no test for laundry detergents, it is mainly hit or miss. It was so bad that I actually did a science fair exhibit on the effects of different detergents on people with allergies (geeky but it was serious for me). This was years ago and I am sure many more brands are now available but I am sticking with what I know until they stop making it. The only kind I can use is Tide Original Unscented. It costs way more than so many other brands but if it saves me from hives and other fun components of allergic reactions, I will use it.

I can tell you love your baby but before you give her up, think about that.
