It is definitely not a clean people issue.
I have a friend with two children that have peanut issues. These kids never stop coming into contact with others, they live in the ditch during the summer, have pets (often from the ditch), the gambit but they still have allergies.
I grew up catching crawfish and tadpoles, swinging on wisteria vines in the woods among many other things and I’m allergic to nightshades, all of them. I was not a clean child by any means. Heck most of the times now when I go outside to do things I forget my gloves and have to take a lot of extra time cleaning under my nails, fingers and toes since I sometimes forget my shoes too 🙂
I think a lot of today’s food allergies come from the fact that the food we are being given is crap. Half of it isn’t even food anymore, it looks like food, smells like food but it’s some science peti-dish mockup made from the idea of food.
