Despite their popularity, nuts are avoided by many Americans due to allergy. An estimated 1% of the US population has nut (peanut or tree nut) allergy, though the prevalence seems to be growing in children.6,7 Although a number of studies have demonstrated successful desensitization to nuts with various forms of immunotherapy, many questions remain unanswered.8 Oral immunotherapy (OIT), particularly for peanut, has shown promising results, though concerns over safety and long-term effectiveness continue to keep it from mainstream practice in allergy clinics. Currently, the standard of care for patients allergic to nuts is strict dietary avoidance and treatment of anaphylactic episodes with injectable epinephrine.9,10 This requires much time in counseling and education of the patient and family, as there are numerous scenarios to which challenges may arise, if not appropriately anticipated.","tracks":[{"project":"TEST0","denotations":[{"id":"26604803-238-243-1382618","span":{"begin":591,"end":592},"obj":"[\"20462634\"]"},{"id":"26604803-237-242-1382619","span":{"begin":593,"end":594},"obj":"[\"21236480\"]"},{"id":"26604803-232-237-1382620","span":{"begin":747,"end":748},"obj":"[\"24565776\"]"},{"id":"26604803-236-241-1382621","span":{"begin":1107,"end":1108},"obj":"[\"20692689\"]"},{"id":"26604803-224-230-1382622","span":{"begin":1109,"end":1111},"obj":"[\"17620059\"]"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"26604803-238-243-1382618","pred":"source","obj":"TEST0"},{"subj":"26604803-237-242-1382619","pred":"source","obj":"TEST0"},{"subj":"26604803-232-237-1382620","pred":"source","obj":"TEST0"},{"subj":"26604803-236-241-1382621","pred":"source","obj":"TEST0"},{"subj":"26604803-224-230-1382622","pred":"source","obj":"TEST0"}]},{"project":"2_test","denotations":[{"id":"26604803-20462634-55579313","span":{"begin":591,"end":592},"obj":"20462634"},{"id":"26604803-21236480-55579314","span":{"begin":593,"end":594},"obj":"21236480"},{"id":"26604803-24565776-55579315","span":{"begin":747,"end":748},"obj":"24565776"},{"id":"26604803-20692689-55579316","span":{"begin":1107,"end":1108},"obj":"20692689"},{"id":"26604803-17620059-55579317","span":{"begin":1109,"end":1111},"obj":"17620059"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"26604803-20462634-55579313","pred":"source","obj":"2_test"},{"subj":"26604803-21236480-55579314","pred":"source","obj":"2_test"},{"subj":"26604803-24565776-55579315","pred":"source","obj":"2_test"},{"subj":"26604803-20692689-55579316","pred":"source","obj":"2_test"},{"subj":"26604803-17620059-55579317","pred":"source","obj":"2_test"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"TEST0","color":"#93ecc5","default":true},{"id":"2_test","color":"#ecab93"}]}]}}
