HA!! I have finally figured out the unknown allergen!

Ready for this? It's one I should have known because he tested postive for it. The mold that grows in decomposing leaves!!!!

WHOLE face again broke out today while we were raking leaves and I realized each time he has had a reaction he's been playing in the leaves. I think it starts at the mouth because the lips are the most sensitive skin type and because he was kissing them.

DOH! Bad me for not figuring it out faster. :( But I've figured it out now. Hopefully our afternoon of raking doesn't end in an er trip. (he's big on delayed reactions and it's just getting worse the more time passes) But I've given him some benadryl and hopefully that will do it.

I hope he out grows this. If he doesn't I'll be stuck raking leaves for the rest of my life!!!! Wait he's got non allergic brothers.....okay. :P Poor guy though. He loves jumping in leaves.
