    Hi Goodsammy, The issue of introducing peanuts to babies is not whole peanuts or even peanut butter; it's peanut protein that would be in something like bamba , a baby biscuit that has peanut protein in it. But to answer your question, studies have been done that show that dry roasted peanuts appear to be more allergenic than boiled peanuts. Lynda

    Sadly, when it comes to airline travel it is not just the potential food allergens, but the animal dander as well. I have a severe allergic reaction to all dogs, and a potentially fatal reaction to cats. It doesn't matter if they are 4 rows away or 40, the hazard is there, especially in a tin can of pressurized air. I try to travel by car as much as possible, but sometimes it just isn't feasible. I try to prepare for the possibility of animals on board, and can semi control when exposed to a...

    It would not matter whether the pet was on the plane or not, the pet owners are covered in their pet dander you are going to react to the owners if the pets are left at home. While we too deal with significant allergies that prevent us from using public/ private(airlines are a private industry) transit as much as we would like for our child, it isn't the worlds job to go pet free, peanut free, dairy free, corn free, gluten free, soy free- etc. We simply drive and do what we can to keep her...

    We the allergy community have a strong case arguing for *reasonable accommodations*. For food, that is clear labeling of intended ingredients and of trace levels of common allergens. The argument is all the stronger in the air, and ought to appear completely reasonable to the airlines. It would seem that requiring labeling by their caterers is a small price to pay to avoid bad press, for goodwill, and for good corporate citizenship.

    Airlines are a private industry. They have no control over what passengers opt to eat, or what pets they have at home or what trees or grass left pollen on the passenger or what perfume or deo the passenger opts to wear. So, if a passenger who KNOWS they have severe IgE allergies to pets, foods,scents etc opts to get on a plane where they know there are no laws, mandates etc that prohibit their allergen on other passengers and thus recirculated throughout the air on the entire plane, then if...

    Hi Dinydeek, As someone who has a very severe cat allergy I have to say that it does make a big difference whether there is a cat present around me or just a cat owner. I have no problem being around cat owners but if you put me in a room with a cat I will likely have my eyes swell, breathing trouble, and more. Perhaps being around people with dander on them explains some of the times I sneeze while in public but the level of that compared to what happens when I'm with an actual live cat is...

    Sometimes, it's not so easy as choosing to not fly. Adults have to fly for business, kids have to fly to see non-custodial parents, people need to fly for family emergencies when time is absolutely critical...Flying is an unavoidable part of life, and people need to be able to fly safely without the risk of anaphylaxis. It sounds like the airline got off the hook, so to speak, because airlines are not covered by the law. The airline was not found innocent or not liable.

    I wish this could have applied to my children. My 4yo boy tested highly positive to peanuts at 6 months of age, so he would have been deemed too high risk to participate, anyway. And then there's my daughter, who has FPIES and still hasn't gotten around to trying peanuts. Now I'm terrified that the extremely slow process of introducing food into her diet means I've already missed my window of early prevention. She's definitely high risk for developing a peanut allergy since she has a sibling...

    This is awesome.... One area I see a market for you is seeds.... They are a great alternative to nuts, but it is very difficult to find them not processed the same facility as peanuts and treenuts. So far all we can find reliably is sunflower seeds.

    Ok, I'm probably going crazy but these seem wrong too! LEAP-On enrolled 88.5% of children from the original trial (556 children). Adherence to peanut avoidance in both groups was high during the 12 months families were told to stay away from peanuts: - 4% in the original peanut avoidance group, and - 3% in the peanut-eating group On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 3:29 PM, Kids With Food Allergies < support@aafa.org > wrote:

    This is great news! I have a 17-year old with a peanut allergy, but I see this was tested only on younger kids. Will this be potentially tested/available for older kids/adults as well? Also, any thoughts/ideas at all on when this will be through testing and approval and available for the general peanut-allergic population?

    Hi, Carolyn ... there is a lot of exciting research into immunotherapy right now. For instance, the FDA is now considering the immunotherapy drug Palforzia for children and teens with peanut allergy. And research has been ongoing with drugs like Viaskin. I have much hope that families managing food allergies will have many additional tools in their kit in the future. In the meantime, how can our community help you and your teen?

    Thanks for the response. I Googled Palforzia and a link came up to a recent article in the Atlantic (9/13/09) stating this "drug" is nothing but peanut flour in a capsule, with an estimated cost of $4200/year!...and the need for the patient to take it indefinitely. Even if it reliably worked (not proven per the article), it just also seems like another way for the pharmaceutical industry to rip off families of allergic kids (Epi-pen exorbitant costs, case in point).

    It makes me so happy to read about positive results on treating people with a peanut allergy. My grandson is 10 now...and I am sometimes gripped with fear regarding his allergy. I am so hoping that a real cure is on the horizon...for him and for all of those dealing with this. Thanks for all you do to keep us informed.

    Hi, is there a typo in this summary? I may just be tired, but I don't see how this reflects a risk reduction (at all, let alone 67%): Thanks, Naomi However, when the authors evaluated the infants that were able to maintain the study protocol by eating these foods consistently each week, they did find a significant difference in rates of food allergy: - 4% in the early introduction group versus - 3% in the standard group On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 3:39 PM, Kids With Food Allergies <...

    @Will Way children as young as the newborn age have shown to have a deadly reaction to peanuts/treenuts from the mother's milk or have a skin reaction after being touched by someone with residue on their hands. The peanut protein is different from other nuts. It is actually a legume. Not a nut!
