7 months - dd was diagnosed in January a couple weeks after her first b-day. She has yet to react to peanuts that we know of though [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
About 11 years.

8 1/2 years - ds was almost 1 y/o.
Just over 5 years, since he was 14 months old.
Almost 11 years. DD's first reaction was at daycare, so I know it was fall, but months are a bit fuzzy but that is about right.
And that is long enough I got the "well, just don't have her eat any peanuts" and no epi prescription treatment from her doc.
I think there is so much more info available now!
Just three months.

21 months. It seems like we have always been dealing with this, but it's really not that long. I guess we have adjusted so much and are so used to the lifestyle that it's normal now.
