A member asked:
My two year old son has crustacean allergies. will this condition go away or is it for life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't Tell Now: Many children outgrow their food allergies but not all. For things like milk, egg and wheat, around 80% outgrow them. For nuts, it's as bad as only 20% outgrowing them. Shellfish/crustaceans are somewhere in between. There are new treatments in development though that may allow an allergist to desensitize food allergic patients in the next few years.
