Why are more children affected with allergies today than 10 years ago?
* From my perspective, it could be because our children live in such a sanitary environment that the immune systems do not form defenses against bacteria, which can lead to illnesses, or colds. Children should be allowed to -- they MUST -- get dirty and grubby.... * Adding on to the previous answer, that assertion is backed up by studies proving that children who were exposed to dust were less likely to develop asthma and allergies to dust. But bacteria and illnesses do not cause allergies. Another reason that more children today have allergies is because they survive past infancy. A hundred years ago, a kid with a peanut allergy would have come across a peanut or two... and died. Today, a kid with a peanut allergy will come across a peanut, have an allergic reaction, go to the hospital, be given an epi-pen, and... live through it.
Can you be allergic to peanuts but not peanut butter?
It occurs rarely, but yes. There are two types of peanut allergies based on the hosts reaction to the protein in the peanut. The majority of allergies are full blown, but some react differently when the protein structure is changed (e.g. creamed or whipped). You can be allergic to the protein itself, or the particular structure of the protein. This is a new study, so more information is being collected, but early studies are showing positive results.
