It is worth thinking about. The way people are allergy prone is dependant on hereditary factors- but not the specifically the allergy itself. For example, I am very allergic to strawberries, and bees. Jeremy reacts(so far) to mosquitos and certain soaps. SO if you have any allergies, it will make a child PRONE to them, but you don't pass on specific allergies.

I would speak with the doctor honestly if i were you, and ask if you should be carrying a bee kit with you, just in case someday she gets stung. I personally think every mom should have one until the child is 10, just in case. The way i see it what if your child has a reaction while camping and you cant get to a hospital? That could save your life. I carry one for me and one for jer - although it was an extra expense, i think its worth it.

Also my pedi said there is OFF spray for children, and that using that in combination with keeping them semi-covered will help. Although i dont like to put chemicals on jeremy, Id rather that than the big welts from the bites.
Thanks for this!
