Children with life-threatening peanut allergies have been successfully treated - by eating peanuts.
The largest clinical trial of its kind has shown that by eating increasing amounts of peanut protein every day children were able to train their immune systems to tolerate the nuts.
By the end of the study 84% were able to eat at least five nuts without suffering an allergic reaction, according to results published in The Lancet medical journal.
That would be enough to protect them against accidental exposure to peanuts in food.
Doctors are warning parents that the treatment must be carried out under medical supervision and should not be attempted at home.
