[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exposure means nothing. Both my daughters ate peanuts, tree nuts and shellfish from a young age—loved all of the above. At age 5, oldest developed allergy to tree nuts. By age 6, youngest to both peanuts and tree nuts, and then at age 7, shellfish, too. I hate the smug, uninformed myth that food allergies are due to lack of exposure.[/quote]

It’s not a myth.

Early and frequent exposure *can* reduce the prevalence of food allergies.

Does that early exposure will eliminate the possibility no?

Your anecdotal experience doesn’t override real data.  But it’s clear you don’t understand the study. [/quote]

Since people development allergies later in life, exposure is not the actual solution.[/quote]

Exposure decreases the number of allergies on a population level.  It doesn’t mean no one develops allergies post exposure; it means most people are less likely to develop allergies post exposure.  PP with the three kids with tree nut allergies is very unlucky and that sucks and probably has a genetic component given that it’s all three kids.[/quote]
