Food Allergies and Vaccines

By , About.com GuideDecember 18, 2007

Follow me on:

Food allergies are becoming increasing common, especially in children. Many of the vaccines routinely given during childhood contain food proteins, which could cause an allergic reaction in a person with food allergies. As a result, many children with food allergies should not routinely receive certain vaccines unless given under the careful supervision of an allergist.

Find out more about which food allergies present a problem, and which vaccines present the biggest problems:

(2) Evette :

I have develop an allergic reaction in the gym to Lysol at the back of my knee. before I recognised what it was I scratched it and it is now quite bruised and has left a black mark.I have paid a full subscription to the gym for one year which is not refunded and the gym has not changed to another product because they said they have to deplete the present stock of Lysol before they change to another product. In the meantime I have to go to the gym because of their non refundable policy . Is there some medication I can take or rub or drink until they have changed the Lysol
