Re: red ears; could they be heat related, too?

We live in Central Calif. with high heat also. I believe the heat plays a

factor in the red ears. My son's return to normal after cooling off after

we've been outside.

Here is my phenol information [red ears is a sign of phenol

intolerance]. You can check the food list and see if you find another

food here that may be the cause. There is also another link here that

includes beef, which my information does not include. So it may be a

high-phenol food that you are not aware of.

I get overheated easily, and the heat dissipates primarily thru my

head and ears. Also I sunburn on top of my ears VERY easily, and it

also fades very quickly unless deep, so it would appear very

transient and not like a typical sunburn. You can consider this for

your son as well.
