Yes BS. That study says 1% of CHILDREN have it and gives no indication of the severity. Since only about 1/5 of the population is children that means the percentage of the total population (which was my original statement) is going to be approximately .2%, and that's just having the allergy at all. We have nothing to estimate what percentage of them have it severely enough that it's life threatening.
