In the last week or two peanut allergy has been back in the news quite a bit in the last week. The peanut desensitization I wrote about last year (you can read that here) is really nothing new.

The gist of the treatment is to give very small amounts of peanut flour that increase over time. After a year or two some of the children can tolerate up to 13 peanuts. (If you haven ‘t read about it before, check out the links above)

I would like to spark a discussion among my readers this weekend. Would you consider this treatment for you PA Kid if it were available to you to today?

I will chime in later this weekend with my own thoughts on this subject in the comments section. But, I am very interested to hear your take on this somewhat controversial therapy.

When I eat at family potluck dinners, I see sticky notes on dishes with messages like “Contains milk and nuts” or “Made with almonds and butter.” The notes help protect friends and relatives who have food allergies. My family mirrors the rest of the world, where the number of people with food allergies is growing.
