We discovered our kid's sesame allergy when I fed some hummus on a pita at age 18 months resulting in a serious reaction that almost had me calling 911. It wasn't lack of early exposure.

It's entirely possible that the allergy will go away though. The immune system can shift and change over time in ways that cause it to not overreact to the allergen anymore.
