Causes for Peanut Allergy

In a previous post of mine ("Why So Many Kids With Peanut Allergy?"), I wrote about one of the reasons (that I've heard) that peanut allergies are so much more prevalent today, is that we have become such an anti-bacterial society, that out bodies are looking for things to fight off. I recently found a web site that identifies what they feel the causes are for peanut allergies. The site is affiliated with Cincinnati Children's Hospital and their Cincinnati Eosinophilic Disorders Center. Some associations with peanut allergy include the duration of breastfeeding, the consumption of soy milk or soy formula, and rashes over joints and skin creases. My wife breastfed Christopher for about 1 year. He did drink soy milk, but this was only after we discovered his peanut allergy and milk allergy. Christopher did have rashes over some of his joints; we considered this to be eczema. The site goes into greater detail; I've provided a link below and would encourage you to look at the information.
