Wow, I didn’t know that adults could even get that. I guess it makes sense - I got fifth disease as an adult, and that’s another “childhood” illness. Anyway…feel better soon, pool!
I work in a preschool that starts with age one, and it goes through our one and 18-month-old class every year. A few two-year-olds get it. It looks like chicken pox on just the hands and feet. The little ones don’t seem to be bothered that much by it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it were worse in adults than kids. My brother got chicken pox in college. He got sent home, because he was living in the dorm. He was home for two weeks, and so miserable.
As I’m sure you’re aware, raisins are just dried grapes. I doubt it’s possible to be allergic to one, and not the other. Unless you have a medical citation to the contrary?
Commercial raisins are preserved as well as dried, I believe. There are chemicals such as sulfur dioxide and others in raisins which are not in grapes.
Because grapes have a lot more water, people will eat way more raisins than they will eat grapes at one time. It could be that she is allergic to both, it just takes a certain volume to produce the reaction, and the fact that she eats (or, would eat) many more raisins than grapes in a sitting, gets her over the threshold to a reaction.
Does anyone have a medical citation, instead of opinion and speculation?
So one eight year old? You’ve got to be kidding.
