OK, but did I just not notice peanut affected kids turning blue around me in school before we all knew how dangerous peanuts were?
Exactly, that's my point. How the hell did it become so prevalent today?
I have wondered this many times myself; to me it's one of life mysteries I will likely never understand. I was in my mid 20's before I even encountered anyone with a peanut allergy; now when I visit my kid in elementary school, they have signs hanging on about half the classroom doors that say "peanut allergy in this room". Apparently some kids are so allergic even being in the same room as peanuts is bad. If you ever figure this out, please let me know...always wondered WHY this is so much more prevalent today than when I was a kid.
