    a pea sized drop of [peanut] butter was smeared on the skin for 1 minute

    no one developed any allergic reactions

    I only read the article you linked to, not the actual study. I wonder how they corrected for the extra reluctance a person who believes that he will have an intense reaction specifically to touching peanut butter would have to volunteer for such a study.

      Yeah. Some people have allergies strong enough that they’re going to defend themselves by punching the test giver in the nose before allowing contact. I imagine those folks didn’t make it into the study. It would be pretty fun if they did, though.
