The mocklet has a pretty bad allergy to eggs, which obviously we found out the hard way (vomitting, swelling etc, 'it wasn't the eggs I gave him' said the mockerina-in-law).

On holiday this week he got quite a disturbing rash that looked almost like scalding blisters. An anti histamine got rid of it, but we're not sure what caused it, we think probably prawns.


Does anyone know how we go about finding out? Can we do this on the NHS or do we have to go to some sort of specialist, I really have no clue.

I was told (but haven't put it to the test) that if there is a history of this kind of thing in the family that might help your case for getting tests on the NHS. me and husband both v atopic so shd get son tested for allergies at some point - have also experienced him getting weal like hives or similar but they always disappear so fast, without any other associated problem, that I haven't yet done anything about it. Couldn't pinpoint a particular food either - if you're thinking shellfish, that cd help your case too - always found with the GP that if I went in saying 'I think he has X' it seemed to help focus the appt.

    • I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
    • Our refuse collectors leave rubbish all the way down the hill after they have emptied the bins. Everywhere you go you see rubbish everywhere. On some days walking through the high street in Peckham can be truly depressing with plastic bags and paper blowing around everywhere, Peckham and other streets deserve better than this Council complacency. I'm sure it wasn't so bad back in the day. Councils everywhere, faced with cuts in revenue, must have decided a long time ago  that litter picking  and rubbish collection were not so important. I think a clean, tidy environment makes everyone feel better about their home environment. Btw, I'm ok with a few weeds. They are just wild flowers in an inconvenient place.
    • Have just enjoyed watching 100s of cyclists go past on Peckham Rye west. Couple of penny farthings, lit up bikes and music too!
    • This thread has got weird, people asking what the kids look like that are terrorizing people and getting shut down points to one thing
