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.
