[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 548590, member: 11791"] There's also a link between lack of prenatal exposure and peanut allergy - not true of most allergies, but seems to be with peanuts. Perhaps a combo of genetics plus exposure, not sure. They didn't want me eating peanut butter while I was nursing difficult child... until I explained that I'd been "living on it" for years including right through the pregnancy. By the time K2 was expected, they were actively encouraging "exposure" by non-allergic pg moms, to build up tolerance in the child. Mine have no food allergies. But if you have a mom with the allergy to start with, exposure isn't possible, and the combo of genetics and lack of exposure really increases the risk of peanut allergy. [/QUOTE]
