Visitors have already stepped on the infamous peanut butter floor, less than a week after it opened in Rotterdam.

The Depot of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen said that at least one person had walked on the exhibit, and another had dropped their phone into the peanut butter while attempting to take a photo.

It is obviously impossible to prove a negative in science. But the evidence is good enough that the experts say it's not a thing.

    Experts do say it's a thing, there are just unfortunately bad articles drawing conclusions from a single bad research paper, and being misinterpreted from other papers because the article writers don't understand what ara 2 means.

    You keep saying that, you want to link an authoritative source? Because I would think a bunch of allergists and immunologists know what they're talking about.

    a single bad research paper,

    That has apparently been reproduced many times according to the source I gave

    I literally posted a giant response just under this. Yes, it's a bad research paper. The rest of the sources have not reproduced it at all, the article writers straight up DO NOT UNDERSTAND how allergies work. "Peanut allergy" is literally an umbrella term for, technically, 12ish related allergies. Most 'allergies' are blanket terms.
