Health Shots: Research decodes the smallest dose of peanuts that can trigger people with allergies
March 31, 2021
Research from Lynne Haber, PhD, a toxicologist in the UC College of Medicine, uses patient data from multiple locations and mathematical models to estimate an “eliciting dose” — or the amount of peanut protein that will cause or elicit an allergic reaction in a certain percentage of peanut sensitive patients. The study was published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology and has been featured in media reports.
