No one was injured in the blaze, which started around noon at the building at 2571 Orange Ave., said Battalion Chief William Kershaw of the Costa Mesa Fire Department. Costa Mesa and Newport Beach firefighters arrived at the scene to find residents safely out of the two-story structure, which had smoke and flames coming from the back.

Damage was limited to the living room of an upstairs unit and a downstairs garage. The fire began in the garage, in the area of the water heater, Kershaw said.

A 5-year-old atopic boy unaffected by cow's milk protein allergy experienced several anaphylactic reactions after eating food containing "pecorino" cheese made from sheep's milk. Prick-prick tests were strongly positive to sheep's buttermilk curd and 'pecorino' sheep's cheese. Skin prick tests to fresh sheep's milk and to goat's milk were also positive, whereas they were negative to all cow's milk proteins, to whole pasteurized cow's milk and to cheese made from cow's milk. Specific IgE antibodies were negative to all cow's milk proteins. Sheep's milk and cheese derived from sheep's milk may cause severe allergic reactions in children affected and, as we report, in children not affected by cow's milk protein allergy.
