My ornery uncle was a farmer and kept cows and unless they’re out in a suitable field with lots of room rather than cooped up in a barn, the resulting manure and urine can be overpowering. Uncle let him out but still it was just as odiferous as pigs as far as I was concerned.

Peanuts on the other hand and allergic reactions to peanuts is an interesting topic, I have read that it might be due to the vast amounts of herbicides and insecticides used that permeate the root systems, which is the peanut and people are possibly experiencing a reaction to those.

I also read recently that there is growing interest in boiling peanuts and eating boiled peanuts to combat the effects of these peanut allergies.

Boiled peanuts are a southern thing. There might be interest until they actually taste a boiled peanut, just sayin’.

My take on the peanut allergies is that in previous generations, every kid was given peanut butter & jelly sandwiches growing up. So either their body learned to tolerate peanuts, or maybe they just died. Either way, by the time we all got to school age, there was nobody left that couldn’t eat peanuts.
