why are peanut allergies so much more common now than 25 or 35 years ago ?
1 theory i have heard is that vegitarian ( heavy peanut consumers ) mothers in the 60's & 70's may have caused a type of intolerance to their unborn children, therefore causing this reaction .
could this be true ?
other specialists admit they don't know why it is so much more common.
any ideas /theories ?

i think it is due to change in climate and increase in pollution
