How food allergy risk changes as children grow

A study has found that food allergy risk changes as children grow, with some allergies persisting and others disappearing.

The research, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, found that sensitization to foods like milk, egg, and wheat often resolves by age 6, while sensitization to peanuts and seafood is more likely to persist.

Knowing whether an allergy is likely to persist can affect medical decisions.
