In Season: Blueberries

I have to add a comment on blueberries. Last night I awoke thinking a mosquito had had it's way with my whole body. I itched in various areas, but especially the soles of my feet, and hands. When I couldn't find a bite, I used an old tube of an itch cream (left over from chicken poxs my son had years ago...) on anything that itched, and it finally calmed down. I can still feel it, hours later. The only thing I can think of is that I had two pieces of fresh blueberry pie, which I made, and a smoothie with blueberries, all within 24 hours. I'm really hoping it's NOT blueberries, but that is all I can come up with. I'm approaching 58 and have never had anything like this with any food. Yuck!!

In Season: Blueberries

Around a month ago my 8 year old daughter ate half a butter dish of wild blueberries. Within 30 minutes she broke out in hives, got a dry cough which progressed to a croup sounding cough, vomitting and her throat swelled shut. She was admitted into hospital given epinephrine and stereroids and kept on these meds for a week. Scary thought! The school has banned peanuts and now blueberries. We are going to find out next week for sure if the blueberries were the actual cause. The specialist ordered in the blueberry serum to do the test. Even the hospital never heard of an allergy to blueberries.
