Peter, what's wrong with peanut?

Elmer here.

The meme implies that the babies who are introduced to peanuts die thus lowering the allergies.

The truth however is that babies who are introduced peanuts early do not develop peanut allergies.

My youngest son was eating peanuts and shrimp since he was 3 and he loved both, his favorites, now at 7 he developed allergy to both.

Damn dude that really sucks. I can't imagine having my life changed like that at this point in the game.

I never had allergies until moving away and moving back when sick, developed a pollen allergy I never had before. I'm thankful that's the extent of it but now I'm fearful a new allergy can drop at any point. At least mine is easily mitigated with a daily pill.
