That is sort of the height of irony -- this fellow has never enjoyed peanuts; never wanted to eat them; but the extreme danger drew him into this trial, and after it has ended, he is essentially condemned to consuming 4 peanuts every day for breakfast, just to keep up tolerance, even though he hates the stuff and would never have willingly ingested them at all!
A handful of peanuts a day to avoid dying in the event of (accidental, inadvertent) exposure sounds like a pretty good deal! I think that's the value here:
