More than 70% of these toddlers could tolerate 3 or 4 peanut kernels after a 3-year course of treatment

    So the Boomers were right and you’re supposed to throw babies into the sewer to build up the immune system?

      This is the opposite. The immune system needs to learn what is infection, and what is food.

      Countries that have common baby snacks made of peanuts have little serious allergy issues in kids. Certainly some US biotech will make a $5000 patch instead.

        The sewer is the answer.

        This sets off my bullshit detection a thousand different ways. What exactly is the relationship here beyond just a correlation in measured statistics
