Question 1

Very variable...: Eggs are one of the most common allergy-causing foods in children.
Symptoms can occur minutes to a few hours after eating eggs or foods containing eggs. Signs and symptoms range from mild to severe skin rashes, hives, nasal inflammation, and vomiting or other digestive problems. Rarely, egg allergy can cause anaphylaxis — a life-threatening reaction.

Question 2

what are common signs of an egg allergy?

Accepted Answer

Egg allergy: Egg allergy can lead to a worsening of eczema, it can result in hives or swelling (angioedema) of the face, mouth or entire body.  Symptoms can include vomiting and diarrhea.  Egg anaphylaxis (severe reaction) is less common, but more serious.   Egg allergy is more common in children than adults and the triggering protein is usually in the egg white vs the yolk.

Question 3

could someone with an egg allergy eat baked egg?

Accepted Answer

Depends: In the baking process the protein structure of an egg may be broken down to the point it does not trigger an allergic reaction. Products like icing or whipped egg whites as a pie topping would not fall in this category. Not all egg allergy is created equal. Some just break out in a rash & some can have abdominal pain, difficulty breathing & may go into shock. I don't take chances if a big reaction.

See an allergist: Many people with food allergies, especially egg, can tolerate it when it is cooked. This is because the cooking process denatures the proteins in the food. However, it is important to take food allergies very seriously and to be followed by an allergist. Also, make sure you have epinephrine products with you in case you ever have a severe food allergic reaction.
