Advice for those with milk allergy
In consultation with the Medical Panel and the Medical Officer of Health for the Bay of Plenty, Allergy New Zealand advises those with milk allergy as follows:
Milk powder from the MV Rena may be found in some places along the Bay of Plenty coastline from Waihi Beach to Pukehina Beach (and including the inshore islands and Tauranga Harbour). This may pose a risk to those affected by milk allergy, although the risk is probably relatively low.
As a precaution it is advised that those with milk allergy should consider staying away from beaches where milk powder has come ashore.
This is particularly important for those with a history of anaphylaxis to milk, or for young children (where unintentional ingestion may be more likely). This advice will be updated once further assessments have been made.

This great book has only just been published in Australia and we now have this available here just in time for Christmas.
Knowing first hand the impact of the allergy and having spent decades treating WA children, and leading international allergy research, Prescott's book is a bid to understand why allergy rates worldwide continue to soar.
It covers a wide range of complex issues in an easy-to-understand format.
Internationally renowned specialist in childhood allergy and immunology Professor Susan Prescott takes us on a journey into the science behind the allergy epidemic. Prescott is perfectly placed to explore how and why we are experiencing an epidemic rise in allergic diseases as well as the practical side of dealing with these potentially serious conditions. With clear, no-nonsense explanations and a very personable style, Prescott informs, assures and educates.
