Might not always work for things like hay fever. I had plenty of early exposure to pollens and everything else that'd cause them and never had allergies for my early life. Then one year around my 17th birthday (springish birthday so not thinking it's time based so much) i got probably the worst attack of allergies i've ever seen. All the sudden my body decided that it had had enough and I've had hayfever and other symptoms since. Moving to a different area has helped tremendously but hasn't eliminated it.
Just anecdotal but I wouldn't be surprised if seasonal allergies like that happen through a different mechanism that might not be affected like the peanut one.

- dragonwriter 12y agoThe period of early exposure was at least 4 years of continuous exposure (the subjects were at least 11 months old, the 3-days a week feeding was until they were 60 months old). The nature of seasonal allergies tends to be that while early natural exposure is common, early and continuous natural exposure is not. So I wouldn't view natural environmental exposure to seasonal allergens as a valid basisi on which to reject the idea that the kind of early and continuous exposure at issue here might work for seasonal allergens.
