Peanut allergies have been around forever. Most who have this allergy do not die from it. Many kids develop asthma that can be traced to peanut products, but since it has been discovered that it can kill some of the ones affected there have been bans placed on peanut products in schools if there is a child attending with such an allergy. Most kids outgrow it too just like with other allergies....and some get worse as with many conditions.
