I'm sure many of you already use the Canadian AAIQ web site but there are probably PA newbies that don't know about it.

The article by John Weisnagel M.D., "Peanut allergy - where do we stand" has some of the best PA information available online (in my opinon) including info on skin testing, stats on anaphylaxis, etc.

great find Adele!

I particularly liked this piece of info as I'm trying to sort out my TNA with some new RAST testing:

Peanut is not a nut (although publications originating in the United Kingdom often include it when discussing nut allergy). Nuts belong to different biological families, e.g. pecan belongs to the 'judanglacea' family along with walnut, e.g. almond is of the 'drupacea' family which includes peaches, apricots, plums, nectarine and cherries, e.g. the 'anacardiacea' family groups cashews, pistachios and mangos, etc.See description in Allallergy.net and also: "Fruits called Nuts" with super photos.

GREAT INFO!
