<p>Feb. 23, 2015 -- Life-threatening peanut allergies have mysteriously been | ||
on the rise in the past decade, with little hope for a cure.</p> | ||
<p xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan">But a groundbreaking new study may offer a way to stem that rise, while | ||
another may offer some hope for those who are already allergic.</p> | ||
<p>Parents have been told for years to avoid giving foods containing peanuts | ||
to babies for fear of triggering an allergy. Now research shows the opposite | ||
is true: Feeding babies snacks made with peanuts before their first birthday | ||
appears to prevent that from happening.</p> | ||
<p>The study is published in the <i>New England Journal of Medicine,</i> and | ||
it was presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, | ||
Asthma and Immunology in Houston. It found that among children at high | ||
risk for getting peanut allergies, eating peanut snacks by 11 months of | ||
age and continuing to eat them at least three times a week until age 5 | ||
cut their chances of becoming allergic by more than 80% compared to kids | ||
who avoided peanuts. Those at high risk were already allergic to egg, they | ||
had the skin condition <a class="Article" href="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/eczema/default.htm" onclick="return sl(this,'','embd-lnk');">eczema</a>, or | ||
both.</p> | ||
<p>Overall, about 3% of kids who ate peanut butter or peanut snacks before | ||
their first birthday got an allergy, compared to about 17% of kids who | ||
didn’t eat them.</p> | ||
<p>“I think this study is an astounding and groundbreaking study, really,” | ||
says Katie Allen, MD, PhD. She's the director of the Center for Food and | ||
Allergy Research at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, | ||
Australia. Allen was not involved in the research.</p> | ||
<p>Experts say the research should shift thinking about how kids develop | ||
<a class="Article" href="http://www.webmd.com/allergies/guide/food-allergy-intolerances" onclick="return sl(this,'','embd-lnk');">food allergies</a>, and it should change the guidance doctors give to | ||
parents.</p> | ||
<p>Meanwhile, for children and adults who are already <a class="Article" href="http://www.webmd.com/allergies/guide/nut-allergy" onclick="return sl(this,'','embd-lnk');">allergic to peanuts</a>, | ||
another study presented at the same meeting held out hope of a treatment.</p> | ||
<p>A new skin patch called Viaskin allowed people with peanut allergies to | ||
eat tiny amounts of peanuts after they wore it for a year.</p> | ||

<h3>A Change in Guidelines?</h3> | ||
|
||
<p>Allergies to peanuts and other foods are on the rise. In the U.S., more | ||
than 2% of people react to peanuts, a 400% increase since 1997. And reactions | ||
to peanuts and other tree nuts can be especially severe. Nuts are the main | ||
reason people get a life-threatening problem called <a class="Article" href="http://www.webmd.com/allergies/guide/anaphylaxis" onclick="return sl(this,'','embd-lnk');">anaphylaxis</a>.</p> | ||
