Could be a protein deficiency, Well it is come to think of it.

It's a theory that make sense to me as there are some people that take snake venoms to build up tolerances to it so why can't you build up a tolerance to whatever goes off when the peanut allergy chemical kicks in.That was Dr. Doris Rapp's theory
As a teen I saw her as an allergist. First thing she said is buy my book and it is all in there.
IMHO she was a quaick and would have made a pitiful duck dinner

if it makes your airway swell closed it might not be the path you seek.
Doris Rapp was a doctor small d and an AUTHOR capitol A
I might be the authority here on this one as well as Asthma and allergies.
You certainly have insight on this. When I talk to others about medical do's and don't, I tell them not to think the EpiPen is the end of the troubles. it just you a bit more time to find help.Trust me on this

52 years of dealing with is a bit more dramatic than a questionYou certainly have insight on this. When I talk to others about medical do's and don't, I tell them not to think the EpiPen is the end of the troubles. it just you a bit more time to find help.
Actually many airlines have specific policies in place when dealing with a broad range of issues, whether it be an allergy or disability. The best way to find out is to check on the particular airlines Web-page for what their policy is towards allergies etc.
Calling in advance of the flight will also alert the airline to your particular need.
Delta Airlines for instance will create a ‘safe zone’ for you if you let them know in advance of your peanut allergy……. I believe its 3 seat rows front/back of the individual with the allergy, as well as offer peanut free snacks in that area.…..and an announcement will be made pre-flight letting passengers know of the allergy…….they will even allow YOU to pre-board and cleanse the area………
Once again, the onus is on the passenger as the airline won’t take liability (shocking concept ! )
In the end, please make sure you take your medication ( and/or Epipen) etc., and make the flight crew aware upon boarding, of your specific needs so they can react accordingly…..most will be very accommodating……………
I don’t think many people realize how serious some people’s allergic reactions can be….

Can I say that I am allergic to fat guys who really need two seats? One always seems to sit beside me.
A fat-ass-free zone... Now you're talking.Can I say that I am allergic to fat guys who really need two seats? One always seems to sit beside me.
EPIPEN is a great invention if you have it on youYou certainly have insight on this. When I talk to others about medical do's and don't, I tell them not to think the EpiPen is the end of the troubles. it just you a bit more time to find help.
Avoidance is the best choice
