UGA researchers aim to change the peanut itself, eliminating some of the proteins that trigger the allergy.

If all the proteins in a peanut that can cause allergic reactions were eliminated, the resulting peanut plant could not grow, said Ozias-Akins, who has been researching peanut allergies for six years.

Ozias-Akins hopes to develop a peanut minus three of the proteins that cause the most problems.
