Most often, allergy is caused by exotic fruits, seafood and vegetables. And you can cook the usual dish in a different way, adding a new ingredient in it or overdo it with spices. Ask the child what he ate. Pocket money from children satisfies their desire to eat chips, and then grab it with a tangerine. Or maybe a bottle of soda and a kilogram of chocolates, eaten with friends, give such a reaction?
