Ryan, my son, has eaten fish sticks quite a few times (before we had him tested of course) and he never had any type of severe anaphylaxis reaction...just the hives around the mouth as I mentioned before so I don't think it TOO serious. Heck, we wouldn't even know he was allergic to fish if it hadn't been for the skin testing the Dr. did. But when it comes to the little guy I'd rather err on the side of caution, as he means the world to me.

Now that the weather is warming up I think I will take him down to the local pond and do our first father-son fishing trip (with the Epi-pen Jr. of course)...directly down the street from the emergency room to be on the safe side.
