I think that the comment about eating peanuts causing your kids to have peanut allergies should be removed until a reference can by found for this. Tom Hubbard 22:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Agreed. This strange claim shouldn't have been made without citations in the first place. I'm pulling it off. Glaucus 02:59, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Agreed. The claim has zero credibility without a sources and just works to discredit everything else. Danyak501 22:21, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Acceleration

Article would benefit from a section discussing frequency of peanut allergy over time. This of course will be unavailable data for much of the world, but whatever can be located should be. Anecdotally it has been reported peanut allergy has increased a lot in the last ten years. This would be a good place to debunk the notion or document it. Tempshill 21:55, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Anyone have any idea why peanut allergies are virtually unheard of outside the western world? Exploding Boy 08:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Exclusive to North America?

Someone was telling me that peanut allergies aren't found anywhere in the world other than North America. Is this true?

[edit] Leading Cause of Death

I think I heard somewhere that peanut allergies in teenagers is the leading cause of death from food allergy. Anyone got a reference? Asbruckman 18:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
