Severe Milk Allergy And Physical Contact Posted: 10-31-07 20:34pm
my niece has a milk allergy. my sister is
very protective over her so she may be
over reacting. i was just wondering if you
have a severe case, or not is it possible
for you to not be able to touch the child
after you have touched something
containing milk. my sister says that she
breaks out into hives about a day or two
later after coming in contact with someone
that has touched milk. so can everybody
hold her? is it okay?

How old is your niece?
When did she started to develop allergy
symptoms?

That seems ridiculous --- how can another
person's consumption of milk affect a
child? Is your niece allergic to the
"energy" or the "effect of milk? I'd say
your sister is over reacting!

Yes It Is Possible Posted: 12-29-07 22:15pm
It is possible for a person who has drank
milk or touched milk to cause a reaction
in another person. The problem lies in the
sensitivity to the allergy. For teenagers
and adults, being kissed after the other
person has drank milk can potentially
cause major problems. But it all lies in
sensitivity. From one person who is
seriously allergic to dairy products, be
careful with the child. She is still
learning.

I see ... we are talking about physical
contact with milk. Sorry to jump to
conclusions. So some people have a skin
reaction when around milk?

Symptoms of milk allergy appear only after
milk has been intake orally.
Showing skin allergic reactions on milk
doesn't mean that the way allergen came in
contact with body was through skin.
There are some protein products of milk
digestion, that when come in touch with
the immune system are recognized as
unwanted and harmful proteins. Hence, the
reactions start.
The allergy reactions can be manifested
like Skin reactions, Stomach and
Intestinal Reactions and Nose, Throat and
Lung Reactions.
They can appear within minutes, several
hours or after more than 20 hours, or even
days after intake.

My son has a milk allergy. He broke out
in hives when milk splattered on his face,
but that was the only reaction from
external contact. I know of another mom
who tested her son's allergy by drinking
milk and then kissing him on the cheek.

Sorry, guys! I need to make some changes in my statments. Posted: 01-24-08 05:41am
Symptoms of milk allergy appear MAINLY
after milk has been intake orally (milk is
for drinking ). Showing
skin allergic reactions on milk doesn't
ALWAYS mean that the way allergen came in
contact with body was through skin,
because skin allergic reactions can be a
part of systemic allergy reactions.
Besides blood, stool and oral test, a skin
allergy test (a small amount of the milk
protein is inserted just under the surface
of the child's skin with a needle. If a
red, raised spot called a wheal emerges,
the child may have milk allergy) can be
ordered like additional one.

My son has been tested (blood test) for
food allergies and dairy came back
moderate to severe. My first clue was not
the milk splattered on the face.
Unfortunately his first reaction was more
severe than just a few hives. I guess I'm
just trying to say that I can relate to
the original post. After you see your
child have a reaction like that, you
really don't want them anywhere near the
things they're allergic to. I probably
overreact and go the extra mile to protect
him. I'm hoping he'll outgrow this
allergy (he's only 16 mo. old), and I'll
probably start with bringing milk into
contact with his skin before I give him
some to drink.

Cow's milk is one of the most common
allergy-causing foods in children, and
it's the leading cause of allergic
reactions in very young children.
But, most children outgrow a milk allergy
by age 2 or 3.
