--- Quote ---Although specific IgE to peanut were higher than for sesame, peanut-induced allergic reactions were mild, in contrary to sesame where anaphylaxis was the only clinical manifestation.

Thank you so much for this!! We should definitely create a linker thread from the research forum to this thread, but I think it is a terrific idea to house individual allergen research like this.

So much of the clinical research is becoming allergen-specific. It's really a wealth of information, and I'm so encouraged that the nuances between food allergens are being explored (for example, the conventional wisdom re: which allergen proteins are the "important" ones in egg, milk, and peanut allergy) but it sure makes it a lot denser in this forest. :thumbsup:

Parsing it out like this is very helpful to let us see the individual grove that we happen to be standing in, as we look at all these trees. THANK YOU!!
