But a seven-year clinical research study is under way to discover whether consumption or avoidance of peanuts is actually the best strategy.
It is being conducted by Professor Gideon Lack at Evelina Children’s Hospital in London.
Cameron’s mother Karyln first heard about the study after watching a report on TV.
“I thought it sounded really interesting, so looked into how I could get involved,” she said.
