What really sent my son to hospital 🥚

Egg allergies are more common than most people think

about 1–2% of children worldwide are affected. 🧒

Many don’t realise that some vaccines contain egg proteins, which can trigger reactions too

always check with your doctor before. 🩺

When my son was little, he ended up in hospital after a vaccine that, as I later discovered, contained traces of egg protein. 😔

At that time, no one — not even the doctors — realised what had really happened. For years I couldn’t understand why his body reacted that way.

Only much later I found out he was severely allergic to eggs — raw, cooked, any form at all. 🥚💔

It finally made sense. Sometimes, a mother’s instinct sees what science misses.

Now we know, and we’re careful with every single ingredient — because even small things can make a big difference for our kids. 💛

For autistic and non-verbal kids, it can be even harder to notice the signs, they can’t always tell you if something hurts, itches, or feels “off”. 💛

Reactions can range from mild rashes or tummy pain to serious anaphylaxis, so even small traces can be risky.

For us, removing eggs completely made a world of difference. 🌿 Sometimes, understanding their sensitivities is the biggest act of love. 💫
