My oldest daughter is one of the rapidly increasing number of children with peanut allergy.

Her MDs think that the "epidemic" of peanut allergy may be a result of all those little immune systems being revved up, now with no challenges from "usual childhood diseases", getting fixed on common environmental antigens instead.

That's interesting. I didn't know that peanut allergies could be the result of increased "protection." I sympthize with you. The baby of a friend nearly died because a nurse applied a diaper-rash ointment that sent the little boy into anaphylactic shock. Fortnuately, he was in the hospital at the time, for an appointment to determine his allergies, and they were able to save them. The ingredient that caused the reaction? Peanut oil.
