My son has a peanut allergy. He was deemed very severe. He started treatment daily peanut doses. Starting at 5 mg. He is now eating 4 peanuts a day and counting. Zero issues with exposure now. If you have a kid with a peanut allergy find an allergist who will desensitize them.see https://www.palforzia.com/ https://www.palforzia.com/
- kelnos 11mo agoDo be careful, though. My nephew (now 4 years old) has/had several food allergies. Some he's ok with now, but for some the desensitizing process resulted in several ER visits.
