An experimental skin patch is showing promise to treat toddlers who are highly allergic to peanuts — training their bodies to handle an accidental bite.
Peanut allergy is one of the most common and dangerous food allergies. Parents of allergic tots are constantly on guard against exposures that can turn birthday parties and play dates into emergency room visits.
There is no cure. The only treatment is for children 4 and older who can consume a special peanut powder to protect against a severe reaction.

I have wondered, since Peanuts are technically Beans do kids also have a minor reaction to Beans? No one in my family or that I know has had this specific allergy.

Lt Col Charlie Brown I can't remember anyone from when I was growing up having a peanut allergy. I'm wondering it if might be from the round up they spray on crops to dry them up faster so they can harvest sooner.
