Great reply Paula - not much to add really!!
Just thought I'd say that there seem to be a lot of children around that have an allergy to eggs (not sure what the technical term is - sorry!). Apparently, it's the second most common allergy in children now - second to milk.
It's not just whole eggs which need to be avoided - cake mixtures will need to be altered, some vaccines cannot be given, pasta and food flavourings may contain egg... :muted:
One child I knew (who has recently grown out of the allergy now) reacted to egg 'fumes' in the house and would have anaphylactic shock if he even briefly touched any egg product. He was also allergic to milk - thankfully, his mum is a great cook and his nursery were VERY vigilant!! Allergies can be life threatening.
