Title: Peanut in household dust linked to peanut allergy in children with eczema

Usually I read these articles and think that does not apply to our situation and I've no clue how DD ended up with her allergies since DH and I don't have any.

This article makes me pause and say, that's possible.  DD had horrible eczema.  Until she was diagnosed, we ate all kinds of nuts.  I loved to shell my own.  A sensory thing perhaps.  I know there would have been peanut in our dust as well as on my hands and clothes.

Who knows.  I thought it interesting.  VNF posted it on Facebook.
