In my late 30s I developed a legume allergy (including peanuts). Not knowing much about child peanut allergies (we gave all of our kids peanut butter from an early age), I’ve had to adjust my own life to avoiding peanuts, soy, and so many delicious beans.
My symptoms are just gastro related, so it’s probably not the same as childhood peanut allergies, though.
- johnyzee 4y agoPeanuts contain a unique kind of lectin, which, unlike almost all other plant lectins, does not break down with preparation (heat, mechanical, etc.). Lectins irritate the gut lining and therefore cause gastro issues for a lot of people, peanuts probably moreso than other foods.

- hammock 4y agoDo you get a flu shot every year?
- jonhohle 4y agoI used to, but haven’t been regular about it for several years. Is there a link between it and adult onset allergies?
- hammock 4y agoIt has been proposed for at least egg allergy, since the flu shot contains egg protein and there is a plausible MoA. Some of the shots also use adjuvant 65, which contains peanut oil and it's possible the same MoA applies. Your own personal risk-reward calculation applies of course
