A member asked:
Can you develop a peanut allergy later early in life before you ever eat a peanut?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Some children can become sensitized through breastfeeding and others by touching or rubbing peanut butter on the skin. Months later they have reactions when they eat peanut products for the first time.
