As popular as it is, I wonder if there's effectively microdosing happening from baby's 1st week, even before they eat it themselves?

- hgsgm 4y agoYou mean from exposure to other kids?
- PebblesRox 4y agoMy guess is through breast milk - which I was wondering about with the study as well; does it make a difference for breastfed babies whether their moms eat a lot of peanuts?
- myshpa 4y agoAnecdotal: a pregnant woman ate a lot of the stuff (something similar to Bamba) when pregnant, and I mean a lot. The child was diagnosed with peanut allergy when 1 y.o. Solution? Peanut microdosing, increasing dose progressively, in few months the allergy was gone.

- seanmcdirmid 4y agoSince no one really knows what causes peanut allergies, it isn’t surprising they come and go without much insight into why.
- cmurf 4y agoMom, dad, siblings. Anyone snacking on it will have it on their faces, finger tips. It'll get on the counters and floor. And find its way on a bottle nipple, blankets, sheets, fingers, etc.
- afterburner 4y agoGood question, I mean how many people were actually feeding Cheeto puffs to their 6 month old before it became a health trend
- stametseater 4y agoThe peanut allergy hysteria narrative says that I can't eat peanuts on a plane or in a classroom with somebody who's allergic because the mere odor of peanuts might kill them. If there is any shred of truth to that narrative (which I seriously doubt), then perhaps trace peanut dust in a home from adults eating crunchy peanut-based snacks is enough early exposure to inhibit an allergic reaction.
- BenjiWiebe 4y agoMy uncle doesn't topple over dead from the smell of peanuts, but he can't be in the house while peanut butter cookies are baking or he will get a bad/dangerous reaction. I suppose there's likely people with worse allergies than him.
