About AllergyNut.com

Hello,

Let me introduce myself, I am Taylor Knight.  When I was 36 I developed a deadly nut allergy. I have eaten nuts all my life and one day, a few minutes after a handful of mixed nuts, I was having trouble breathing. Off to the emergency room immediately. They gave my epinephrine but that only worked for about 30 minutes. Another two attacks followed while I was still in the ER. Two days later I work up from an induced coma in the ICU. Fortunately, everything worked out okay, but where did that come from?

Like I said, I have eaten nuts all my life and suddenly I am now allergic to them. Bummer… But just because they can kill be doesn’t mean they control me. I have adapted well over the last three years or so, but I still miss them. I will be writing about some products that you can substitute for nuts.

I also have asthma from an incident related to mold exposure many years ago. It’s kind of borderline asthma but I do use an inhaler and take precautions in my house like special furnace filters, bedding, pillows, etc. I also have two parrots and their dust mildly aggravates it. So, I just find ways to work around it. I will be writing about those type of products as well as many others that can make life easier for us allergy sufferers.

I became obsessed with finding out all I could about allergies. All type of allergies. Food, chemical, environmental, dust mites, insect and any other allergies I could find.  I have also met a lot of people with severe allergies and my friends finally convinced me to put what I know online. I am always on the lookout for new information and want to share it with everyone I can. Maybe, just maybe it will help someone and it will all be worth it!

If you want to know more about something allergy related, please leave a comment. I am happy to research it if I don’t know the answer.

I hope you will follow my blog and stay safe,

Taylor Knight
