Not necessarily the best way to go about it.
"Do get headaches? Do you have skin?.... well why don't you ask your doctor about Sniffysnuffsnuffidil etc....."
Then in small print:
"These statements are not approved by the FDA"
I was thinking about creating some pills, giving them a stupid name and running a commercial for them on cable; I'd make a fortune before the FDA actually investigated.

TRIBOLLOX, gives your man a stiffy for hours, ask your doctor today
(Side effects may include strokes, heart attacks and sudden death, so nothing to worry about really, erections lasting more than 3 hours should make you feel very happy, take advantage before he snuffs it!)

Re: Any one else notice?
I know so many Americans with allergies and I feel kind of left out 'cos I don't take any medications 
In fact, I did get hayfever in the UK but I've never experienced it here in the US even though I live in a more rural area than London.
Also, I've barely been ill at all in the US, e.g. colds, flu.

my son also had his first spoonful of peanut butter at 6 months old..along with soft boiled eggs, actually he had raw eggs in my carbonara sauce (which was his favourite meal for ages) and everything else I was told not to give him..(chicken balti was another of his favourites)
my advice, read nothing about babies and what to feed them and you'll be fine

You might find that its not just the problem of peanut allergy but peanuts are a big choking hazard for young children. Even if they swallow them they sometimes do not digest them correctly and they become lodged in the lungs and cause horrific problems. It is not wise to give a baby or toddler peanuts and this has been advise from health care workers here and in the UK for years now.
Mind you I dont see why there should be a problem of a pregnant woman eating nuts, I mean her old man shouldn't be deprived should he

I was given Valium by my dentist but had to take it before I got to the dentist's office as it was the only way they could get me there. Once there, the needle was in and IV going, woke up when all was done, so basically I floated in and floated out.
