According to MedicineNet.com, peanut allergy is the allergy which is common among adults and kids, but it usually occurs in children under 3 years old. This kind of the allergy has 80-90% of symptoms are related to skin, for example, skin rash and itching ;despite of that it has some severe symptoms; it affects the respiratory system, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular system; therefore, it might be fatal.

In order for doctors to diagnose patients with peanut allergy, there is a test called skin prick test (SPT). However, if the result is positive, it does not mean that you have peanut allergy and doctors need to take a blood test (peanut specific lgE levels) to make sure that it is peanut allergy.

Good news is that recently, scientists find a cure for this allergy that might save people’s life. In this study, scientists achieve that probiotic treatments will have a positive effect on people who diagnosed with peanut allergy and in the most cases it will protect people from having this allergy reactions.
