Nut Allergies
My wife's brother ate 4 or 5 hazelnuts on Saturday, and immediately felt his throat close over. Within half an hour, he was having a seizure. Thankfully we had taken him to casualty and he was dealt with very well.
He is 31 years old, and has never had any problems with nuts before. The Doctor has now told him that he has developed a nut allergy, and will have to carry a card and an 'epi-pen' with him at all times from now on.
I'm now very concerned about my wife. She is two years younger, and when growing up, she frequently developed similar illnesses to her brother.
Is it likely that she will develop it? Can anything be done to prevent it?
