Rita,
Glad to hear that your son doesn't have any allergies to your pets.  That's
great!!  It's amazing how doctor's are so ignorant on the subject of
allergies.   Also, I have found to that docs don't know the ingrediants to a
lot of food that we as parents of food allergic children know as a rule.

Take care
Jeanine (mom to very allergic boys ages 3 and 1)
