From 1st grade to my last year of college I did not hear of one person in
school having a peanut allergy. What's funny is when someone says they're
allergic to all nuts. How can that be? Peanuts aren't even true nuts, they're
peas. If someone is truly allergic to peanuts shouldn't they also be allergic
to other legumes like peas or beans?
