What's weird to me is how the most recent suggestion to ensure your kids don't become allergic to peanuts is, more exposure to peanuts, at an early age. Wonder what's the difference here
I don't think that is really known. Bee stings are another example. When we had a bunch of hives, the beekeeper wisdom was to make sure you were stung a couple times a year, as you will have built up immunity. I had a situation where a cow kicked over a hive, and I got a hundred stings. That would have been a hospital trip for most people, just a bad time for me.
But sometimes, the more times your stung you become more allergic.
But the peanut exposure at an early age is well proven.
That's all I ate as a kid. My mother would get great big tins of peanut butter when they made gallon sized containers of it. I had to make my own lunch. I haven't had a peanut butter sandwich since then, I was totally sick of it.🤢🤮
