Since the publication of The Peanut Allergy Answer Book in May 2001, not only has the incidence of peanut allergy doubled, but also there has been a large and increasing demand for accurate and clear information - not only for patients and families, but for the every-growing circle of daycare providers, neighbours, and friends.

This latest edition of the book answers more of your questions, and is packed with the easy-to-understand, up-to-date information you came to expect in the first edition on everything from the latest research findings and new federal legislation, to real-life allergy-management success stories and what future treatments might look like.  You'll learn the answers to your most pressing questions and concerns about peanut allergy.

• Why has peanut allergy increased so much in the past ten years?
• Will I outgrow my peanut allergy?
• How do I keep my peanut-allergic child safe in school?
• Can skin contact or the odour of peanuts cause an anaphylactic reaction?

Michael C. Young, M.D., is assistant clinical professor of paediatrics at Harvard Medical School and practices at Children's Hospital, Boston and at South Shore Allergy & Asthma Specialists in South Weymouth, Massachusetts.
