Allergies got me so fucked up. I once watched this video about a doctor treating deadly peanut allergies with microdosing peanuts.
I'm thankfully not allergic to anything, but it makes me wonder how these work and if its related to the diets we feed babies. If it is actually related to a lack of diverse foods in early childhood, it just makes me angry that there are folks walking around who can be killed by a simple nut or seed.
It greatly upsets me that there aren't baby foods/formulas/advice with essentially microdosing common allergens to make kids not at risk of death constantly. It seems like such a silly problem, with dire consequence, and the solution seems to only make it worse by restricting these things more so they're more easily avoided.
"Among SPT-negative infants, prevalence of PA at 60 months of age was 13.7% in the avoidance group and 1.9% in the consumption group (P < 0.001)
Among SPT-positive infants, prevalence of PA was 35.3% in the avoidance group and 10.6% in the consumption group (P = 0.004)"

wtf is going on with allergies, man.
The best evidence seems to be exactly that: very poor diet diversity in early childhood.
