Kicking Peanut Allergies in the Nuts

I admit that I blatantly stole my headline from an ArsTechnica article that Lucky Bob pointed out to me.

I am one of three million Americans that suffer from peanut allergies. But it seems that researcher Dr. Mohamed Ahmedna has found a way to remove the allergens from peanuts, so that people allergic to peanuts could eat the allergen-free peanuts without any worries. It has been tested on human serum from people with the peanut allergy, but not on any actual people yet.

Tiffany will be so happy to be able to eat peanuts in the house again. She won't have to hide a jar of peanut butter at work any more.

But as for me, I don't think I would really change that much. As a life long sufferer of lethal peanut allergies, I don't think I could change. Just because some peanuts would be safe to eat, I don't think I could bring myself to eat them. I would perhaps try dishes, like Thai, where the peanut served as an accent to the dish. And this would also prevent me from making a yummy dinner of stir fry vegetables and rice noodles and toasted sesame seeds, only to find out, as I just finished cooking, that the included sauce contains peanuts. (Yes, I did that once. And then promptly gave all the food to the neighbors and took some Benadryl.) But the idea of purposefully making myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is just revolting. This may be hard to believe, but even the idea of eating plain M&Ms is horribly unappealing. I would still have to be careful and read all the labels. How would I know that the peanut product is allergen free?
