For Less Severe Child Peanut Allergies, Small Doses of Peanut Butter May Help

TUESDAY, Feb. 11, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- More than 800,000 U.S. children have what's called "high threshold" peanut allergy, meaning they can tolerate about half a peanut daily before symptoms arise.

New research suggests that exposing these kids to tiny but gradually increasing levels of store-bought peanut butter might help ease the allergy for good.
