The basis of this is recent research which indicates taking peanuts orally is a good way to treat allergies or even better avoid allergies in the first place if they are exposed early (from a few months).
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoThere was a piece in New Scientist about it this month. A hypothesis was that exposure to foodstuffs on the skin, eg peanut oil based baby products, could cause antibody production when the body hadn't had chance to "recognise" the proteins, or whatever, as food. I'd say the article was essential reading for new/soon-to-be parents.
