I will ask his allergist this question shortly. The facts are I think I can successfully control what he will ingest even though there are so many seafood restaurants there.... Will just "being there" be dangerous to him in the air that he breathes? Will I have to prevent him from going into the ocean or collecting seashells? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! .... a worried mom.
