Food allergies are no joke.
In fact, shes convinced its all in the OPs head.
Her son was diagnosed with a life-threatening peanut allergy, so he has to use an EpiPen.
She threw the childsEpiPenaside and insisted that kids didnt have allergies in her day.
Besides, if something did happen, shed simply take him to the hospital.
The OP was horrified at this.
He also insisted that she apologize to his mom.
Now, her mother-in-law wants to take the child to a baseballgamea place with peanuts everywhere.
At this point, the OP is tired of her mother-in-laws actions towards her son.
Her husband, still in full Mamas Boy mode, thinks shes being unreasonable.
She also stated that face and throat swelling can also block the airways, which can lead to death.
Uukule clarified that the idea that one can cure a child by exposing them to allergens is amyth.
Rather, repeated exposure could very well lead to an accumulation of more severe and more dangerous reactions.
In her words, Since its genetic, exposure cant cure them.
She suggested that what the mother-in-law needs is awareness and health education through a family doctor.
