Josie is allergic to red food dye!!



Well, it is confirmed. A few weeks ago Josie had a viral infection and also developed a disgusting skin rash that freaked me out! She ate a cookie that had food dye in the frosting and we wondered if that was what caused it since that was the only thing she ate out of the ordinary. Well, this morning John gave Josie some crystal light (a red packet you add to water) b/c we were out of milk and juice. By 8:30AM, these pics were taken. That rash came up and progressed rapidly in about 10 minutes. Luckily, I knew what was happening and lubed her up with Cortizone cream and Benedryl.
