When did these nut allergies become as common as they are now?
The nut allergies have always been there. People just no longer take responsibility for themselves. My brother was diagnosed as being allergic to chocolate fifty years ago. Mom simply made sure that he didn’t eat chocolate. I have a coworker that is allergic to nuts. He simply tries not to eat nuts. He accidentally ate a cookie with nuts. We went down to his truck and he used his Epipen.
Apparently it hurts a bit as this Afghanistan war Veteran complained about the pain. At least he quit swelling up and could breath again.
