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.

But he has gone into anaphylactic shock twice because of ingesting peanuts.

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.
