Hey so can a pre-med or med student explain to me as a society we are gradually getting allergic to more and more things I’ve never met people so allergic to as many things as I have in recent times. Thank you tried Google not much concrete answers.

Damn lol like growing I remember a peanut allergy here and there but now peanuts, tree nuts, veggies, fish, red meat, white meat, soybean, oats; this is insane.

Peanut is actually going down, turns out exposure as a young chile lowers your chances of developing an allergy to it. Doctors used to give the opposite advice

I am not feeling that because peanuts are banned at the school I TA’d at for training because of 65% of the student population being allergic but that is anecdotal.
