My son has a peanut allergy, and whenever he eats them, he immediately starts coughing, empties his stomache by vomiting, and has difficulty breathing. Then an epi pen is administered, and we visit the hospital. Shall I 'shovel them down him' as you say? No thanks, I'll pass, and just keep peanuts out of the house.

But if it's minor... say a slight rash being the only symptom... then perhaps it's worth giving the child peanuts, starting with a very tiny amount, and then increasing gradually. Keep an epi-pen around at all times just in case, and if there's a serious attack... drop the attempt altogether and surrender to the fact that your childs quality of life will be less-than-optimal forever more.
