Oh, BS. Kids outgrow allergies regularly. Just because they outgrew something doesn’t mean what you claim.
All you are doing is displaying your staggering ignorance of the human immune system.
There is a huge difference between a dislike and an allergy.
I both dislike, and have an allergy, to poison ivy. I won’t enjoy rolling in, and eating, poison ivy.
“ All you are doing is displaying your staggering ignorance of the human immune system.”
From your mouth to my rheumatologists ears.
I’m impressed.
“I don’t have a problem with that. I taught my son from an early age to read labels, and I occasionally gave him food containing peanuts so he would be vigilant in protecting himself.
As a toddler, he would scream in pain if he got anything with peanuts on his skin or in his mouth. I thought he would grow out of it, because I’d never heard of peanut allergies before….”

It sounds like you’ve been handling your son’s condition in a responsible manner. Hopefully this new treatment or something similar could help. And, yes, without any kind of treatment some do grow out of the allergy but some do not.
. And just because you didn’t know anyone with a peanut allergy doesn’t mean there weren’t any.
The ignorance on this thread is astounding. I expect better from freepers.
“Glad your kids outgrew their peanut allergy.”
That’s just it. They never had a peanut allergy. The school told us that they did because they didn’t eat peanut butter. The school assumed because they didn’t eat it, they had peanut allergies.
I think where the thread went off the rails is what we are told by outside influencers versus what we know. My wife and I didn’t know any better so we listened to the teachers and school staff. We were miserable for years isolating our kids from others because we were afraid they would have a bad reaction to peanuts.
I, also, have a bad reaction to peanut butter it seems to add weight very quickly ROFL.
My kid was tested at the dr office. Not school.
