HAE

I took my son to the allergist, because the facial swelling greatly worried me.

The allergist said, "I want to send your son to the hospital for some blood work.  I don't think it's an allergic reaction.  I think it's Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)."

MSG'd Grape

The other day we wanted grapes.  At the store, they were out of organic ones, so I grabbed regular grapes since I knew we were okay with them.

Reaction To ???

I had several topics to write about.  While in the process of researching, at 1 a.m on the 5th., my 17 year old son came downstairs.  His top lip was swollen.  He has always reacted worse than most when bit by insects.  Due to our location and "critter" population, my first assumption was "spider bite".
