A revised and updated version of the definitive peanut allergy
book. Since the second edition of The Peanut Allergy Answer Book
was published in 2006, much additional research has been published
in the field of peanut allergy and anaphylaxis, including new
diagnostic tests and new vaccines and therapies, including oral
desensitization and human trials for Chinese herbal medication. New
information has emerged on the risk factors for the development of
peanut allergy during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and in infant
diets, which has led to a paradigm shift in how we think about what
to eat and what to avoid. National guidelines for the management of
food allergies from the National Institutes of Health were
published in 2010. In addition, there has been a great increase in
public awareness of the societal impact of peanut allergy such as
in schools and childcare facilities, in restaurants, and the food
industry. This has led to the publication of national guidelines by
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for school
management of food allergies and anaphylaxis, The Food Allergy
& Anaphylaxis Management Act of 2011, School Access to
Emergency Epinephrine Act, and legislation for restaurant
guidelines for food-allergic consumers. The incidence of peanut
allergies has tripled in the past ten years and continues to
increase, yet the present management of peanut allergy remains
largely preventive through avoidance and education. The Peanut
Allergy Answer Book, 3rd Edition, contains more than 50% new
material, including new chapters such as "Is Early Avoidance of
Peanut Good or Bad?"; "Should the Sibling of a Child with Peanut
Allergy Avoid Peanuts?"; "Should I Avoid Eating Peanuts and Other
Allergenic Foods while Breastfeeding?"; and "At What Age Should
Peanuts and Nuts Be Introduced into the Child's Diet?"
