Product Description
A revised and updated version of the definitive peanut allergy book.Since the publication of The Peanut Allergy Answer Book in May 2001, there has been much additional research published in the field of peanut allergy and anaphylaxis in medical literature. This research includes new diagnostic tests, new vaccines and therapies, and new information on the history of peanut allergy. In addition, there has also been a great increase in public awareness of the societal impact of peanut allergy, such as in schools and other child-care facilities, in restaurants, and in the food and restaurant industry. This attention has led to the publication of guidelines for schools in the management of food allergies and anaphylaxis, to legislation such as the Food Allergen Labeling Consumer Protection Act of 2006, and proposed legislation for restaurant guidelines for food-allergic consumers. The incidence of peanut allergy has doubled in the past five years and continues to increase so the impact of this medical problem, particularly in young children, is enormous.The Peanut Allergy Answer Book, 2nd Edition,. contains 50% of new and revised material, including a new foreword and introduction, as well as new chapters such as, "Why has peanut allergy increased so much in the past 5-10 years?"; "What is the difference between being peanut-sensitive and peanut-allergic?"; "What is the Hygiene Hypothesis?"; and "Can skin contact cause an anaphylactic reaction?" |

GREAT BOOK! by A. Hall (Northern California) 5 Stars
September 30, 2009
This book is wonderful in it's descriptions and examples of different reactions. I wish that when my daughter was first diagnosed with her nut allergies that the Dr would have recommended this book because it answered so many questions that he did not. I had searched for information on-line and had read tons but this book has it all in one place. This book is a must read for anyone who cares for a child with peanut allergies.

Great information by M. Hill (Georgia) 5 Stars
May 12, 2009
I just found out that my grandson is allergic to peanuts. This book was FULL of great information- although a little scary. It's fairly short and very easy to understand. Written for the non-medical person.

Very informative by Ang D (Orchard Park, NY) 5 Stars
January 08, 2009
Got this book on reccomendation from my Childs Allergist. It is a very informative and easy to understand book. My son was diagnosed with a peanut allergy at 12 months just from my aunt kissing him after eating peanuts so we were shocked at the reaction to peanuts he has. This really helped us to understand and relax somewhat.
