It's Allergy Awareness Week in the UK at the moment, where it is estimated that up to 21 million adults and children suffer from at least one type of allergy.
Take this test and see how much you know - increasing your awareness of what allergies are and what they can do could save someone's life. Or at the very least, it might save them a trip to hospital (as once happened to us when my son ate birthday cake we were assured had no nuts in it. It didn't - but what the friend who had made it had forgotten was that she had put walnuts in the icing...)

That reminds me, I need to send my college girl for allergy testing. She has had three severe reactions in the last three years to something she's eaten and hasn't been able to trace. Each time the reaction (swollen face, strained breathing) has been slightly worse and will probably continue to get worse. Very worrying.
