Giving peanut oral immunotherapy—daily doses of peanut flour—to children ages 1 to 3 with peanut allergies desensitized most and induced remission of the allergy in 21%.



one of our kid’s friend had a peanut allergy and at twice had to travel by helicopter to a suitable hospital. Always had an epipen at birthday parties. Very diligent family leaving the kid home alone with a friend for the first time and as part of the spread the mother inexplicably purchased choco-tacos.

The kid ate them thought they were good and asked the mom to get them again.

The mom realized that they had peanuts and through new tests it turns out he is no longer allergic.

The first thought was choco tacos contain no peanuts. They contain peanuts.
