Sounds more likely that she was just bound to get the allergy anyway. Giving the children exposure to the allergens early decreases the risk. It does not eliminate it 100%. Doubt not feeding her everyday peanuts was what made the difference.
- stephen_g 1y agoYeah if the kid's immune system was so sensitive to peanuts they might have gone from 95% chance to 90% chance with exposure or something like that. I expect the population level risk would be heavily skewed by those with low sensitivity (who might benefit a lot from exposure) and those who wouldn't have developed an allergy either way.
