In the last week or two peanut allergy has been
back in the news quite a bit in the last week. The peanut desensitization I wrote about last year (you can read that
here ) is really nothing new.
The gist of the treatment is to give very small amounts of peanut flour that increase over time. After a year or two some of the children can tolerate up to 13 peanuts. (If you haven 't read about it before, check out the links above)
I would like to spark a discussion among my readers this weekend. Would you consider this treatment for you PA Kid if it were availableto you to today?I will chime in later this weekend with my own thoughts on this subject in the comments section. But, I am very interested to hear your take on this somewhat controversial
therapy.
