Atticus Cox was one of more than 600 youngsters recruited to test whether children should regularly eat peanuts or avoid them to reduce their risk of reactions. His parents decided to enrol him after Atticus suffered an allergic reaction to pasta at the age of seven months.
Dad Rupert, 50, said: “It was absolutely terrifying, and we knew that Atticus was likely to develop other food allergies. It felt like there would be a knife hanging over him all the time. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
