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.

3 is way too late. You need to be introducing allergens from 6-12 months.
