They were technically on the CDC list. All of my friends had gone previously and not got any vaccines. We did venture outside of the resort a few times. Honestly I didn't have full immunity anyway because except for TDAP, they were multi dose vaccines.

Yeah. If you're careful you shouldn't have any issues, but we were in rural areas which is way more risky food and water wise than being at a resort.

I finished all the doses. My immune system wasn't 100% then so I took them. The worst part was when they billed my second chickenpox as shingles instead. It took me months to fix that. I finally set my insurance loose on the billing office. They claimed to have zero record of payment. Their tune changed when they were given the check number of a $58k check my insurance paid them.

I don't think developing them later is usual but I could be wrong. For some people allergies get worse as you get older and I'm one of them. I had a really bad allergic reaction while on a west to east coast flight with a cat. My immune system never really recovered. When the allergy doctor ran tests all kinds of new stuff popped up. Some of those are gone but the egg one is still there. Zib Walgreens and Walmart are showing in Tampa as having the flu nasal spray. Intolerances are often developed later, but rarely a true allergy. I've heard the immune system compared to a cup filling with water. If you are feeling good, then it is a big cup & you can handle most stuff your body doesn't like. But if your immune system is compromised the cup can be a lot smaller. Either way, when stuff starts bothering you, then you can only take so much before the cup fills. Then when it is full every little drop overflows the cup & causes a reaction. I went through that in highschool. My immune system when into overdrive & a lot of foods I ate regularly were suddenly causing reactions. It sucked

Glad your dad is doing better now Ratchets.
I wish my stuff was intolerances that might go away. I'm guessing allergy blood tests don't lie? And the stuff that I can't have is pretty high up not just the low like class 1.

My DD is 1 and has an egg allergy. We found out because she vomited a couple times after having eggs and also after eating her b-day cake . She got the regular flu shot a couple weeks ago and had no reaction. Her pediatrician said most kids with an egg allergy do not react to the shot. Maybe it's different if you have the allergy as a baby? He said she is unable to break down the proteins in the egg and will most likely grow out of it around age 5.

It could be but DDs doctor said the same thing. As an adult, for some reason, her body can't break it down. If she drinks a beer with it, she can. Go figure. But she thinks she might be growing out of it. Just bizarre.

Alcohol magnifies allergic reactions for me. I do have an intolerance to something in frozen shrimp and it's made a 100 times worse by alcohol. I hear that's common though. Meh I'm not in a landlocked state anymore, I'll just pony up for fresh stuff. Allergy doctor did a shellfish panel and I passed with flying colors. No reaction not even a low class 1.
