Early peanut powder shows potential to raise tolerance in toddlers
A government funded trial with 146 U S children aged 1 to 3 used peanut powder in food or a dummy powder oat flour. At end of treatment 71 percent tolerated 16 peanuts, 6 months later 21 percent did. The control group had 2 percent. Most reactions were mild to moderate and some required an EpiPen. Experts caution this is not a cure and data in infants remain limited.
