*Avoid serving your allergic child eggs in any form. Later, as an adult, your child may be able to tolerate small amounts of cooked eggs, such as those found in most desserts. The allergic protein in eggs is denatured by cooking.

**Cooking denatures some allergens. Therefore, your child may be able to tolerate cooked apples, cherries, and berries. Other fruits may be extremely allergenic in some children, and cooking does not denature the allergens.
