I’ve often wondered about that.

Grew up in the 50’ & 60’s. Peanut allergies were unheard of back then.
Peanut butter sandwiches a staple in most homes. Kids including myself and my brothers frequently carried peanut butter sandwiches to school for lunch.

Roasted peanut snacks common in bars, restaurants and on planes.

Seems to me that it’s a modern phenomenon.

Yep, maybe rfk can unlock that "mystery" as well.

My daughter says that some young parents are testing peanut and other allergens by feeding their kids while parked outside emergency rooms.

I grew up in the same era and do recall hearing about kids choking to death on peanuts, something you almost never hear about these days.

I can’t help but wonder if that wasn’t anaphylaxis and nobody really knew what it was in those days.
