“Nope. My kid was born with a peanut allergy.”

And that’s a sample size of one. Sure, since it’s your kid that make him important to you, but in the grand scheme of public policy decisions, that’s not really too relevant.

“IF he’d been given a pb&j as you suggest he wouldn’t be here today.”

And yet, because of fears like this, many parents are afraid to give their kids (who were not born with this allergy) any pb&j, and so now a great many children have developed these allergies which were completely unavoidable.

“This is one of those situations where someone posts on a topic they know nothing about.”

And yet the science in the article actually confirms that I do know what I am talking about since it is EXPOSURE to the relevant proteins that is providing relief from the allergy. Which means that very likely exposure to these proteins before the allergy had developed would have prevented it from ever developing in the first place.

Heck of a gamble to take. Tell you what...hope no one in your family is allergic to anything.

But if they are...why don't you expose them to the allergen.....and hope they live.

What an idiot you are.
