Nuts allergies I've heard are one of the worst. She needs to be careful if she even eats something that has been processed in a factory that uses nuts...watch your labels. At least green beans are easier for me to avoid.

Some of the stuff I read online about this are downright scary. Her doc gave her a self dose of adrenalin for emergency situations. If she feels her throat closing up due to anaphylaxis, she's to jab this thing into the outside of her thigh and immediately get to an ER.

We're still not 100% sure it is nuts. But, going to keep her away from them for a few days and see if this improves. And she's going to get started on allergy testing, with nuts being the first thing tested.
