Allergies in the CAF 2016-current [Merged]

[Matthew.milo]

Hello i did my medical not too long ago although i got a letter saying i was medically unfit because of my peanut allergy, after a year i found out that my allergy wasn't severe enough for me to die if i were to eat a peanut (extremely low chance of it being anaphylaxis) i only experience very mild itching on my tongue so is it worth me going back to contest the letter or will they not accept me at all even though my allergy isn't life threatening, i was able to get a letter from my doctor stating that i have no problem ingesting peanuts and that my allergy was mild, i heard their very strict when it comes to this stuff so i wanted to hear ur guys opinion thx a lot
