I am sure she thinks that. But I am pretty sure even way back in prehistoric times such as the 70s, people were not too dimwitted to notice an alarming percentage of kids going into anaphylactic shock every time a another kid unwraps a peanut butter sandwhich in the lunch room at school.

I would be willing to bet anybody over 40 in this country can recall a single kid who had peanut allergies. Well, very few anyway

I grew up in the 70’s and NEVER heard of a peanut allergy. Seems I first started hearing about them in the early 90’s.

I was well into my 30s (early 1990s) before I ever heard of a peanut allergy. Every now and this, I'm on a flight where they announce they are passing out crackers or pretzels rather than peanuts because somebody on the flight has an allergy.

Now, I'm even hearing about people who go ape at the sight of a honeybee because they have bee sting allergies.
