The true irony of this statement, and I want to emphasize I am not a doctor, is that you are more likely to cause a peanut allergy by avoiding it!

Similar to germ theory, some exposure is actually good.

From my understanding, some types of exposure promote allergy while other types of exposure prevent it.
