Allergies and intolerances

Travel insurance and anaphylaxis

Dh and I are planning our honeymoon to Paris- hopefully we will be going at the end of November. I have anaphylaxis to most nuts and wasp stings, so I'm a bit worried about making sure our travel insurance will cover us should theworst happen.
Can anyone recommend an insurer? It's the first time we'll have been out of the country, so I've got absolutely no idea about these things!

DH has nut allergy although to be honest I don't think we have ever declared it to the insurers, maybe we should

Most insurers just ask you to declare your medical conditions and then they tell you if they'll cover it

Ah, thanks for that. As I said, I'm not sure how it works, and I don't want to look like a fool. (Well, any more than usual!)

Hi there,

I take annual family insurance out with Tesco. Not sure if it is the cheapest but when phoning round (my ds has nut allergies, asthma) they at least insured him - some wouldn't.

His allergies are listed with my dh's asthma. Let me know if you need the tel. no.

HTH
