A member asked:

Wondering what are the chances our child will get allergies that we both have?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very high: The likelihood of a kid of two allergic parents developing symptomatic allergies is likely > 70%.This could express itself as eczema & food allergies in early infancy with airborn allergies later in life. The kid may be totally unaffected., .
