Peanut allergies won't be a problem in the future. A new study from the University of Florida has shown promise in eliminating 80 percent of the allergens in a peanut.

Wade Yang, one of the researchers, said he is hopeful that they can cut the protein to 1.5 milligrams which can allow 95 percent of people with peanut allergies to be safe.

Yang admits that it is a challenge to eliminate all the peanut allergens because of the risk of destroying the peanut's texture, flavor, color and nutrition.

However, using novel methods like allowing pulsed light to reach allergen levels will protect people with peanut allergies.

The pulse light is created using two lamps filled with xenon, two cooling blowers, one treatment chamber with a conveyor belt and a control module.

He said that the pulsating light can direct concentrated bursts of light that can help modify peanut allergic proteins.

Yang explained that by doing this the human antibodies will not recognize this as allergens and will not release histamines that causes allergic symptoms like itching, rashes and wheezing.

He added that the research proves that pulse light can inactivate peanut allergenic proteins, which make it great for peanut allergen mitigation.

According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, there are 1.9 million people in the United States that have peanut allergies.

They said that allergic reaction ranges from rashes to anaphylaxis which is fatal. That's the reason why people with peanut allergies avoid eating them.

Many people just carry epinephrine injectors that help lessen allergic reactions until they receive proper medical attention.
