It really makes me angry, my neice has a skin condition and from this she has spots all over her body. Yesterday it was so hot we took her and my son swimming well a ignorant lady sat there looking at my neice for 5 minutes and then she made a big deal and deal and made her children get out of the pool that my neice was in. It is not possible at all to catch this skin condition, it really makes me angry i would prefer if instead of overreacting someone actually came and asked us what it was, They can see that my son has no spots so obviously it cant be passed on!Heres some information about it for you all! Mastocytosis is a condition where your child has more than the normal number of mast cells in the body. Mast cells are found in everyone in the skin, gut (stomach) and air passages. Mast cells contain many different natural chemicals, a common one being histamine. A number of things can trigger or cause the mast cells to release these chemicals, including heat, rubbing and certain foods and drugs. In children with mastocytosis they release more chemicals than their body needs due to the extra mast cells. The chemicals can cause symptoms that range from very minor to severe. Mastocytosis can come on at any age, but the disease is different when adults get it. Children with mastocytosis usually get it in the first year of life. Children with mastocytosis usually have an increase in the number of mast cells in the skin only. It is very rare for children to have an increase in mast cells in other organs. In children who have mastocytosis only in the skin, it is most likely that it will go away. This may take many years. 7 out of 10 children can expect a major improvement by the time they are 10 years old.
