So, Arneb, here are a few more details; Cyndi was born (far too long ago) at a gestational age of c. 25 weeks. She has asthma and many allergies.
Her responses are always asthmatic though, never anaphylaxis. Though there was a time in her youth when half a peanut put her in an oxygen tent for several weeks. I have no idea what you would call that.
So how do these change over time? She can now slather up a piece of bread and enjoy a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. If she has too much of something in too short a time she notices it and just avoids the food for a while. This is also true of tomatoes which are related to the tomatillos we discussed earlier but not to potatoes. She couldn't eat anything tomato based at all but now she can. Eggs too.
All that said, what I really want to know is if there is any way she could ever safely "try" a bit of, say, lobster tail.

Perhaps worth noting that "board" here does not refer to IRU :)

Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to go that way. I really was just looking to learn more about all this. Thanks for all the good info.

Or does it?

Does this sort of thing stimulate one's immune response system to the potential allergen in question?
