[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently the relative rates of different allergies vary by country. Israel has pretty few peanut allergies and lots of sesame allergies. [/quote] Really? Wow that's crazy about sesame. Don't they mix tahina in with breast milk or formula for their babies? Kidding but not entirely. That would go against the early exposure hypothesis anyway.[/quote] My pediatrician said there’s a theory they have lower rates of peanut allergy because if the first exposure to peanuts is boiled rather than roasted, you’re less likely to be allergic, and they feed their babies peanut puffs that have boiled peanut. It seems like there are a few things that are common allergens and depending on the order and format you’re exposed to them you may develop an allergy to different ones depending on your predisposition. Idk! I have a sesame allergy kid. :) I am not Israeli. [/quote]
