But white meat and eggs on the other hand made me break out and itch all over within a couple of hours of consuming it. This case just went away with only my mom out of her 11 siblings claiming a similar case. This then happened again to my oldest sisters daughter. She's 4 now and still can't eat even one egg without breaking out.

Curious.
Speaking of curious egg related issues:
I'm severely intolerant to eggs. I wouldn't say it's an allergy, given that I can eat them in baked goods, etc. But eggs by themselves? My body literally rejects them--within two hours, I'm throwing up. This just started happening a few years ago--in my early twenties, about the same time I developed a slight lactose intolerance. I really don't alter my lifestyle because of the milk thing--I assume the risk and endure the consequences (AKA, the runs). But I've learned my lesson when it comes to eggs, and avoid them. Sad, I really miss omelets....
