Details so important in peanut patch #foodallergy study: After 1 yr, <50% could eat up to 1/2 peanut. That's it. cnn.com/2016/10/31/hea…

Roughly 30% of children produce IgE towards foods, but only 5-8% are actually allergic. Testing alone does NOT diagnose #foodallergy.

Epinephrine isn't indicated just when mouth involved - anaphylaxis is any two organ systems. Anyone w #asthma at higher risk=wheezing 5/6
