The antibodies to PEG are detected after a very severe reaction or after testing following many bad reactions to seemingly unrelated substances so for some people it's having a very harmful effect. PEG can even cause anaphylaxis. Reactions can become increasingly severe with repeated exposure too, so someone mildly sensitive to PEG today could end up in the ER at some point in the future. Our bodies seem to see PEG as a hazard so I hope alternatives are found for it.
