But thank you for your use of the $10,000 dollar latin phrase post hoc ergo propter hoc.

This is just a standard, commonly encountered phrase that describes the practice of thinking that A caused B because B appeared after A. Unfortunately, several things that can lead to sensitizing of a child to an allergen are 1. introducing milk, egg, peanut, and other proteins at too young an age before tight junctions in the gut have fully closed, 2. inadequate gastric secretion that permits a bigger load of undenatured protein to make it to the small intestine, 3. insufficient mucosal protection in the small intestine. Though some cases of sensitization have occurred through aerosolization of the allergen, most are by mouth, and most of those by entry through the small intestine.

Oh, I am quite familiar with the phrase. Thank you for your comments.

Then what changed in 1998? Your argument is weak and unsupported. No latin there.
