Why does peanut exposure help prevent peanut allergies?
I want to know why exposing children to peanuts can prevent peanut allergies.
Great question! Studies have shown that early exposure to peanuts can help build up a child's immune system and reduce their risk of developing a peanut allergy. The theory is that gradually introducing small amounts of peanut protein to the immune system can help prevent it from overreacting to peanuts and triggering an allergic reaction later on.
