Honestly I had this same attitude...thinking it was such an inconvenience. UNTIL my son was diagnosed with the allergy... no family history or anything.. I tried all the tree nuts, no problem. Then I watched my 2 year old eat a peanut and watched him wheeze, cry, trying to scratch his throat, then proceed to vomit 3…

I have one allergic son, one non-allergic son. I ate a variety both times, peanut butter/nuts/dairy/sesame everything. The allergic son had eczema early on. I was never on any antibiotics or anything either. No idea!
