how do you know if your child is allergic to peanuts...

my aunt who is in her 40s only just recently got an attack whilst on holiday and nearly died. can you do allergy testing for 3 year olds ?? and any other allergies they might have?

To be honest, with something as severe as possible peanut allergy, you want it to be done in a medical centre with a canula in place for quick administration of whatever's necessary. Your first step should be to talk to your doctor.

You can get loads of information at www.anaphylaxis.org.uk too. I have a relative with peanut allergy and it needs professional help and monitoring. Good luck.
