Thinking It's Usually Milk

Because my son's first reactions were milk and because he is such a little guy we usually assume that a reaction was caused by milk. When we used to go to places were a lot of kids played we would see them all carrying around their little sippy cups. Therefore, if he got a reaction we figured it was just from the milk that kids were dripping everywhere. Everywhere of course being not so much in terms of cleaning but for a child with severe milk allergies it is a lot.
He has had some reactions to egg I'm assuming through my breast milk and at a restaurant before we really stopped going. However, the vast majority of his reaction was caused by milk from other children trailing their drinks around with them and then my son gumming everything everywhere like all babies do. We're hoping and realize in the back of our heads that as he gets older and stops sticking his hands on everything and then putting them in his mouth that his reactions won't happen as often.
