We asked Dr. Jacob Kattan, a pediatric allergist at the Mount Sinai Hospital, to clarify a few things. “Typically we don’t see people become allergic to food they are regularly tolerating. It's very rare to eat peanuts five times and react the sixth time. Nothing is impossible, but that is very rare,” he says.
