Thumbs down Anyone have allergies?

I'm just curious who has allergies here.

I have a horrible allergy to Brazil nuts. I have to carry around the Epi-pen with me in case I accidentally eat them. It's awful. I'm always afraid I'll eat something with Brazil nuts in them when I'm out. And nowadays, restaurants keep adding nuts to everything! I have to ask everytime I eat out if what I'm ordering is nutty or not. The funny thing is, I'm not allergic to peanuts, which is great, because I'm a peanut butter freak. I guess because peanuts aren't technically "nuts" but legumes that's why I'm not allergic to them.

Anyone else like me.... a permanent Epi-pen carrier?

Oh, and guess what? I don't let the boys eat nuts because my pediatrician told me that they could have the allergy, too. GREAT.
