How come there where no peanut allergies 15 years ago.
What have we birthed a bunch of anti-peanut mutants?
Well, peanut allergies certainly are not a new thing. I have a 50-something uncle who is allergic to them. Also, I had a few friends 15 years ago, when I was in middle school, and even before that when I was in elementary school, who had pretty severe peanut allergies.
The simple solution was, they knew their allergy, and they used caution! We didn't have any ban on peanut butter in school.
