Re: Allergic kids vs kids without allergies at school

Thats what appears to have happened. Good news for the people that turn soy beans into peanut free peanut butter I suppose.

Re: Allergic kids vs kids without allergies at school

Re: Allergic kids vs kids without allergies at school

Are you her allergist then?

Re: Allergic kids vs kids without allergies at school

Re: Allergic kids vs kids without allergies at school
