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. |
I use Era hypoallergenic detergent!! it's nice to have one that doesn't cause the hives, my mom used Biz on my clothes once and i got hives and then she didn't tell me about it, but used it again on purpose to make sure that was the cause of them and sure enough i was itching all over again, so now she uses tide or era which i can handle, but Era hypo is wonderful
