I go through a similar treatment for a variety of outdoor allergens I have. It
really does seem to make a difference, though it wasn't essential, so COVID
kind of threw that program off for six months.

That's been pretty well established, although it's still somewhat "theory".
That said, I've read that there are programs to reduce peanut intolerance
through a medically monitored slow introduction of peanuts into their diet. It
has worked.
There was an excellent article on this "food: friend or foe" a year or two ago
in Science News. It was about how your body decides whether something you ate
is good or bad for you, and it's surprisingly complicated.

I've also heard that there's an increasing amount of evidence that many peanut
allergy sufferers are allergic because they didn't have enough peanuts as a
child.

I was reading that the best way to build up a tolerance to a peanut allergy is
to eat a very tiny amount daily
and build up over time. They have to be eaten every day to maintain tolerance
or you can go back to the
beginning. In this way, if someone accidentally ingests something with nuts,
the reaction is rather mild.

I don't know if it's worth fussing over the peanut allergies like we sometimes
do. If the kid gets anaphylactic they better learn to read the package. If
they're so allergic they can't be in the same room with a peanut then in the
long run they're just screwed.
My son has a shellfish allergy. My wife drilled it into his head: he has to
read the labels, know what counts as a shellfish, check for the cross
contamination warnings etc. He carries the Epi-pen at all times in a
backpack.....it's his own little Jr EDC bag now where he has his pocket knife
and first aid kit. He's fine. If anything he's over-prepared. People get all,
"oh shellfish allergy, don't worry I'll change everything to accommodate your
little snowflake." and I'm annoyed like why did we bother training the
snowflake not to be a snowflake if you're just gonna treat him like a
snowflake?
Skittles seems safe right, but some mofo's are allergic to red dye. I'm betting
that red skittle ain't naturally red. You can't take care of everybody.

At the grocery store I saw bulk packages of fun size Paydays (also Snickers).
Very tempting. However, I thought:
a) There probably won’t be trick-or-treaters this year
b) With my luck I’d give one to a kid with peanut allergies
c) I’d end up eating them
I usually give out the little bags of Skittles, although one year I gave out
superhero Pez dispensers, the kids thought I was some crazy old coot. Last year
I ordered some little Halloween coloring books and crayons, my son thought that
was so lame he refused to hand them out and got out the Skittles.
I’m still tempted to go back and get the little Paydays, they were so cute. I
didn’t have my phone or I would have taken a photo. Strange the store just had
Paydays and Snickers. They must hate kids with peanut allergies. Or they
believe in real candy that kids actually like, not ridiculous stuff like those
Necco wafers.
