It quickly became clear the 15-year-old girl succumbed to a peanut allergy _ not from nuts she ate, but a peanut-butter sandwich her boyfriend had consumed before kissing her that day.Wow. Sorry about the girl and prayers to the parents, but frankly, those genes were too weak to be passed on.

is there any chance she can grow out of it?
one of my daughter's classmates in kindergarten had a bee sting allergy. he almost died from it and his mother was on every field trip, every outside outing, recess etc. i didn't blame her. i don't think i could ever relax after hearing the horrifying story of how his entire head swelled and she was going through stopsigns etc to get him to the hospital. my blood curdles just thinking of it. i am sorry you have to worry about your baby too.

According to an allergist I saw on TV over the weekend, one can be allergy free, then in a later stage of life, develop an allergy. Yikes!
Yep. I was allergy free all through childhood. In my 20s, I got really sensitive to fungal spores and dust. Still not allergic to poison ivy, though, as far as I know.

I just don't understand what changed.Not looking for an argument here--I just don't get it. Yes, kids and adults today have more allergies than they did in the past. There are several theories - the most prominant pointing to immunizations and over-clean household environments. People in less developed countries have fewer allergies.
To: Mears
Peanut allergies among young people has doubled just in the past couple years.

Are peanut allergies something that children grow out of? I almost never hear about adults with peanut allergies.

Now I either have to go stinky or look for the rare product that uses Aluminum Chloro-something. Ban Classic used to be my only choice, but now that one isn't around...but I digress Have you tried looking in a natural food store? They sell hygiene products too. I remember seeing something called a deoderant stone.

Yep. I was allergy free all through childhood. In my 20s, I got really sensitive to fungal spores and dust. Same here, although I still had food allergies. The nasal allergies did eventually go away.
To: krb
Same here. Just happened one day. I was in my fortys then.

Jeez, it's already hard enough to get a girl to kiss me. Now, they have the peanut butter excuse, too. Just don't ask one to kiss your nuts and you should be fine.

However, there is good news. I no longer seem to get migranes in response to any of chocolate, corn, or tomatos. I still don't like turkey mole though.

Still not allergic to poison ivy, though, as far as I know.I have some yard work for you if you are interested. More seriously, poison ivy allergies get worse with exposure.

You might want to check out some vegan chocolates, cheeses, pizzas etc.
I know, it gets a 'yuk' from some folks, but it may be good to someone who can't have any milk at all! :)

What if your diesel truck is burning bio diesel from peanut oil? There's going to be a lot of dead pedestrians and drivers!

and she reminds me of Cindy Lou Who That is really funny. A lot of people say that. She had this little red waffle Christmas footie jammie thing last year. We put a little pony tail on top of her head, and with her little tummy sticking out, she looked just like Cindy Lou.

I don't know if she will outgrow it or not. Just have to see. I have a pic of her on my profile page. She's the one with the really big eyes.
