The Results are In: It's a Boy!!

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in our weekend discussion last weekend, sharing if your PA kid is a boy or a girl. Many of you also mentioned the gender of relatives and classmates. Those are included in the results, as well.

With 54 participating in the survey, here are the results:

BOY: 46
GIRL: 22


So, is there a connection between gender and a peanut allergy? Read what one respondent said:

"My allergic one is also a boy (peanut & much more). My 2 girls have no allergies at all. I mentioned this to the allergist and he said something about that pesky x chromosome. I won't be at all surprised if they figure out one day allergic tendencies reside on the X so that's why more boys have them."


Anyone else find this fascinating?
