If a fragment of a peanut could kill you, wouldn't you feel a bit traumatized?

For the estimated 1.5 million Americans allergic to peanuts help is on the way.  Immunologists have developed a new drug, TNX-901, that alters an individual's sensitivity to peanuts from a half a peanut to over eight in some patients.  

Peanuts are tough to avoid in daily life as peanut oil is used in everything from gravy to pie crusts. Allergic reactions can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, hives, and breathing problems. Along with reducing these physical ailments, TNX-901, will reduce the mental trauma induced before each meal for peanut allergy sufferers.

Four years ago, the Surgeon General issued its first official report stating that mental health is fundamental to physical well-being.  The truth is that they are inextricably intertwined.
