When a person has a food allergy, their immune system responds to specific food proteins as if they were dangerous germs. Food allergies typically start in childhood, and, with some exceptions, children outgrow them.

Although it is less common, food allergies can also manifest in adulthood. Symptoms might be minor to severe and have varying effects on various people.

Not everyone will have every symptom, and each response can be a little bit different. But typical warning signs and symptoms include mouth feeling tingly, skin rash, facial puffiness, burning feeling in the lips and mouth among others.

For the OP's son in today's story, his allergic symptom is a skin rash, but let's dive into how everything started in the first place. The OP has a 6-year-old son who has allergies.

The OP's sister, on the other hand, has three kids who are blessed with no allergies. The OP's sister's oldest son was having a birthday party, so the OP dropped off her son.

Her sister obviously knew about the boy's allergies and assured the OP that all was well. The OP came back to pick up her son only to find him covered in rashes.

The OP's sister straight out told her that she directly gave him what he was allergic to, and the OP nearly flipped out. Read the full story for yourself below.

Here is an update added by the OP later on

It's heartbreaking to entrust your kid's safety to your own family only for them to go against the one thing you asked them to do. The OP's sister has betrayed her trust and she's likely not going to be leaving her kid with her anymore.
