Is Birth Month Associated with Higher Allergy Risk?

Interesting article on BBC News: Winter Babies Are More Prone to Food Allergies. The gist of it:
Babies born in autumn or winter are more likely to develop a food allergy than those born in spring or summer, US researchers have found.

When was the mighty B born, you ask?

October (of course!). Blergh. But we live in California - and the October she was born was sunny and warm and gorgeous.

I never know what to make of these studies - and I always take them with a grain of salt. Or in the case, Vitamin D.

What month was your allergic child born?
