Fewer kids are developing allergic reactions to peanuts, research shows. An allergist weighs in on the encouraging trend

New research shows an encouraging trend - fewer children are developing allergic reactions to peanuts. In 2017, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases recommended introducing peanuts to kids when they are young -- to help them build tolerances. Since 2015, researchers have seen a 43 percent drop in peanut allergies. Local allergist Dr. Sunil Joshi joined The Morning Show on Thursday to weigh in on the research findings.
