LOL!  Yeah.  Been there.  With one of my boys (Devin), I ate a lot of
chicken and rice while I was pregnant with him.  (It was clear by then the
oldest two were allergic to things I had eaten a lot of.)  So I was trying
to spare Devin that fate.  Guess what his two worst allergies are?  He even
went into an allergic unconsciousness during testing (7 months old) for
those two things.  This is very similar to the reaction that caused
Curran's brain damage.
