Is Northern America peanut allergy due to overexposure or underexposure due to belief that you shouldn’t eat it as a child?
Peach is such a specific one to list here, yet it’s not even listed as one of the top 14 allergens.
Unfortunately this isn’t very meaningful. The sample is only patients at the 157 specialist allergy clinics. This isn’t showing the percent of allergies per region, only the percent of patients seeking care.
For example, North America is listed as having 42.8% peanut allergies vs. the actual prevalence being ~1.8%
Hard to believe that milk allergy is more common in Eastern and Northern Europe than in Asia.
Ah, this is among people coming to allergy clinics, not among the overall population. Still weird.
What constitutes a milk allergy?
