Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Not a dumb question at all. Unfortunately I don't have an answer. I know that some people who are allergic to eggs can't touch eggshells. I would call your allergist and ask. There might be a protein in the shell that she would react to. You could always let her color them but wear gloves (rubber, latex or what ever). ----- Original Message ----- OK.. for those of you more familiar with dealing with the egg allergy issues, I have kind of a novice question : ) Can DD still color hard-boiled eggs at Easter time? I mean, we were told she was allergic to the egg whites... so handling the shells should not pose a problem, right? Again.. sorry for posting such a dumb question!!! I just want to be sure!! : ) Thanks! Carol & Sara - Severe excema allergy to eggs, minor shellfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Carol Sam is anaphylactic to egg- and I've never really considered this. I'm guessing that for now........we will NOT do it. Last year we hid plastic eggs, although we did let dd's dye eggs. This year, not sure what we'll do. I'm guessing that for us at least, it isn't worth the risk- in case one would break- or have cross cont. from another egg that might have broken before being put in the stores! Trish PS- NEver a stupid or crazy question when it comes to allergies! Re: Kind of a dumb question I guess : ) > Not a dumb question at all. Unfortunately I don't have an answer.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hi Carol, Not a dumb question at all! I'm sorry I can't help you, but that's what I love about this group, someone will be able to. Sharing of information is awesome here. There's so much I don't know, and so much I learn all the time by reading everyone's posts. DonnaShane - asthma - allergic to dairy, eggs, pickles, and olives. Minnesota Kind of a dumb question I guess : ) OK.. for those of you more familiar with dealing with the egg allergy issues, I have kind of a novice question : ) Can DD still color hard-boiled eggs at Easter time?
