RE: Homesteader with an Egg Allergy
I've never tried quail eggs but we have ducks and their eggs were also making me feel nauseous. So I assume I need to avoid duck eggs as well. Duck and chicken eggs share some proteins, although duck eggs have a lot less of the most common allergen, so it probably depends on how severe the allergy is. I'll have to look in to quail. We might sell eggs or hatch them and sell chicks.
Thanks for the support.
Ah darn. That stinks! Interesting how it has developed overtime, for sure! I wonder why! Sometimes I get nauseated after eating chicken eggs, sometimes every time, and sometimes it will be ok. How long did it take to go from one symptom to the next, worse, symptom?
Allergies are weird. I've eaten eggs my whole life but suddenly I can't anymore. I started noticing it around the end of November. Then over the next few weeks I was getting more nauseous. It's hard to say how the symptoms progressed from there since I was avoiding eggs. But the worst reaction, with the full body rash, was around the beginning of February.
