Description
The Peanut Allergy Epidemic: What's Causing It and How to Stop It In the early 1990s, a sudden and alarming increase in peanut allergies among children was observed in several countries, including Canada, the UK, Australia, and the US. This phenomenon, which saw the number of peanut-allergic children in the US rise from almost none to over two million in just twenty years, has continued to grow, with the combined number of American adults and children allergic to peanuts now standing at four million. Heather Fraser explores the causes of this epidemic, tracing its origins back to the close of the 19th century and the identification of vaccination as the cause of the first pediatric allergy epidemic. She also examines the role of alternative medicines and the issues surrounding vaccine safety, shedding new light on this complex and multifaceted issue.
