Our pediatrician strongly encouraged us to introduce nuts young. It was not just about developing finance tolerance, it's that the reaction would be less severe when you are younger and your immune system is less developed. Also, death from anaphylactic shock is much, much, much rarer than I was led to believe. Only a few dozen cases a year, and the majority had compounding health issue (like asthma or heart problems). The anecdotes about people almost dying are just that.
