Brazil nut allergy experiment

[Guest guest]

Some of the veterans may remember my severe allergy to Brazil nuts about a

year and half ago. I've read that if one stays away from the allergen for a

while and then reintroduces slowly, that the allergy can be overcome.

So I decided to experiment. Yesterday (after staying away from the nuts

during the last 1 1/2 years) I ingested the tiniest bit of Brazil nut to see

if I would suffer any reaction. None thus far. In a couple of days I'll

try another slightly larger piece. I'll report results to the group.
