“Why don’t we just take our kids and lock them in their sterilized rooms until they’re 30??”

We don’t do it because the social engineers will tell us that people’s allergic reactions to sterile rooms appear around age 29.

I’m 51 years old and never heard of anyone being allergic to peanuts until about three years ago. Then suddenly 3 out of every 10 kids seemed to get sick on peanuts!

I got in trouble before for assuming that a poster was implying that the peanut allergy thing is overblown or a media creation. So I won’t assume it of you. However, IF, hypothetically, you did mean to imply that, you need to understand that there are two facts to which any reputable medical professional will agree: (1) peanut allergies manifest unambiguous, dangerous symptoms; (2) the cases of peanut allergies among children is rising, for a yet-to-be-determined reason.
