This is a really interesting take on the history associated with food allergy-- the perception of the clinician's side, I mean.
I don't know that I necessarily completely agree with the author in the last two paragraphs, and I think there is some glossing over the notion that the people referred to at the start of the 20th century (clearly anaphylactic and to foods like eggs/milk/nuts that are STILL leading anaphylaxis triggers) still certainly existed and were being seen by clinicians prescribing them ana-kits in the 1950's and 1960's once adrenaline was available....
still. It's interesting, anyway. :)
