Has there indeed been an increase in allergies to things like peanuts over the last 20 or so years? Seems that this has gone from a non-issue to hysteria over peanut dust on airplanes… Is it only because we’re paying attention now? Or if the increase is real, why is it happening?

People in the past, upon exposure to a deadly allergen, basically died. Now, they normally don’t.
Natural forces have been overridden, allowing to a greater accumulation of genetic differences which result in specific allergies.
Lesson? If you’re allergic, die without to help save the future.
It’s the only way.

PS Some might argue that allergies develop from non-exposure during the further development of your immune system after birth. Never exposed to cats? Allergic. Never exposed to pollen? Allergic. Lesson here? Take your infant to a park and rub their body over with foods and grasses and animals.
That would be, “die without reproducing to help save the future.”
Of course, with my lanolin allergy, should I ever be overrun by sweaty sheep, I would puff up like the Michelin Man and quite possibly explode, or scratch all my skin off like a PCP crazed biker freak.

PS Not only am I now deathly afraid of sheep, but should I end up someday barefoot in a linoleum flooring factor (sounds like a bizarre opium dream), I may very well have to amputate below the ankle afterwards.
