You didn't here much about it because there wasn't peanut butter everywhere like there is now. Also, there is the internet so people get a lot more news.

I have a daughter with a severe speech problem. I don't know of anyone like her that lives near me. I'm in an internet group where there are hundreds of parents with kids like mine from across the US, Canada, and the UK.

I wonder whether this a peanut allergy, or an allergy to one of the fungi that can grow on peanuts underground. Suspecting the latter. If so, the solution may be to test, then sterlize the ground where some peanuts grow.

I came from a huge Catho;ic family and like the many other Catholic families that went to Catholic schools, almost everbody had PB&J in their lunches almost every day. That was in the 60's. I tend to think the problem today is not caused by the peanuts, but something used in growing them(a pesticide?) or in "modern" processing of the nuts because the allergy was virtually unheard of bacck then.
