Nut allergies have doubled over the last decade, with more than one in a hundred of us affected, according o the British Nutrition Foundation. Peanuts account for three-quearters of cases. More people in the UK are sensitised than elsewhere, and this may be because in other countries babies are often exposed to traces of ground nuts in things like soup, so their immune systems accept them at a young age. Peanut allergy often lasts for life, but about twenty percent of children grow out of it.
