Support and Guidance for Egg Allergy Sufferers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 16, 2009 -- Painting hardboiled eggs in bright colours at Easter is an age-old tradition that takes place in many primary schools across the country every year. However, for one school in Scotland, the children will be reminded that this seemingly harmless activity can pose a health risk to some of their classmates.

Pupils at Crombie Primary school in Aberdeen are banned from painting real eggs and will have to make do with polystyrene substitutes, as two of the 360 pupils suffer from an egg allergy.

Whilst parents have slammed the decision, Janet Rhodes, head buyer at AllergyBestBuys.co.uk, the leading provider of anti allergy products, said, “For many young children with an egg allergy, stringent precautions have to be taken to minimise all risks of an allergic reaction. If egg protein is consumed, the child may experience hives, vomiting, diarrhoea or coughing and wheezing within minutes. Severe allergic reactions can be life-threatening, and would require an injection of epinephrine.”

“This is a difficult situation for many parents, especially as egg is so commonly used in every-day food and even household items such as shampoo and medicine. However, it is a condition that can be managed and controlled with the right guidance. We have an essential guide for parents, Food Allergy & Your Child, which contains invaluable information on treating their child’s allergy.”

AllergyBestBuys.co.uk also have inexpensive egg allergy and dairy allergy home tests for parents who suspect their children may be allergy sufferers. All that is required is a drop of blood, obtained easily with the supplied finger pricker. Testing for the allergy is the first step to understanding and controlling the condition.
