The Origins of Peanut Allergy

lmz

It makes an argument for why the allergies started in 1980, but not why it persists until today.

Very plausible mechanism. I suspect what started in 1980 continues till this day. In a money-centric system people try to even the odds at all costs.

Growing up in Germany nowadays Peanut Butter is an option, but way more popular is Nutella. But that contains peanuts too! 13% according to the Nutella website and some of the peanuts are sourced from the USA. So given the peanut fungi hypothesis, why would peanut butter (rarely) cause the allergy and not Nutella? (higher peanut concentration?)

I should have gotten tested for the virus I had a few months ago. Fixed my nut allergies somehow. I shat and threw up for 3 nights and a day every hour. Green water after the initial food was out. Home made broth from locally hunted game later to maintain energy levels to stay away from doctors. Lost a good bit of weight. Now I'm not sensitive to nuts and lye anymore but ( potentially the gluten in ) most white wines and most champagnes is still a bit tricky the next day. Potentially got the virus from people traveling from the Black Sea and Aegean Sea. They were sick some weeks prior to their visit.
