How bad is my baby's peanut allergy?My baby has a peanut allergy blood test # of 3.9. I know she's allergic (you're allergic if your number is over .35) , but how severe is 3.9? The doctor said "very significant" but he's not a talker, so I was wondering exactly how bad it is.

Quite severe.

Peanut exposure can be fatal. Not trying to spook you, but I would start a no peanut policy for sure, since your child has tested at over ten times the minimum allergic level.

When you go out to eat, you have to tell the waiter "no peanut or peanut oil in the food, please."

Labeling of foods are beginning to specify if they use peanut oil in their processing so your job will get easier in the long run.

I was interviewing a candidate for employment in the Allergy/Asthma area at my company, and we agreed peanut allergies are on the rise, but we don't yet know why.

I'm sure your doctor made it clear that you need to read labels on everything you feed your baby. Peanut oil is used in so many foods today. A peanut allergy of this kind is very severe....can cause your baby's throat to close up and swell. I'm sure there are websites and books that can help you. Good luck!

That is a rather severe reaction. At her first exposure, she'll likely have a mild reaction. Do not be misled by this... allergic reactions become progressively worse.
Make sure that you follow your doctors instructions and if he gives you a prescription for an Epi-pen, get it. Anaphylactic shock causes the throat to swell shut. Without proper and immediate medical attention, it can kill.
