If juniper is blooming, he MUST be in long pants and sleeves or else he's covered in eczema.

The dr did mention environmental allergens yesterday. But he said with the shrimp incident he wanted to do food testing first then environmental allergens next if I wanted to. He did give me a script for nasonex or he said he could do shots if we wanted to go that direction.

I guess I should do the environmental testing next?

I would. Finding out that Simon was allergic to juniper helped SO much! I knew then to put him in long sleeves and pants when were outside instead of shorts, which is what I would normally do because it was hot.
