- Abstract
Peanut and nut allergy is common and the most frequent cause of severe or fatal reactions to foods. Current advice is poor--doctors give an epinephrine injector to patients, without training or advice on nut avoidance--so that further reactions are common and deaths occur. We devised and assessed a management programme providing advice on nut avoidance and emergency medication.
