I tend to think part of it is the lack of germ exposure coupled with who-knows-what additives or chemicals in the food these days. I developed a nutmeg allergy in my mid-30’s. They don’t list nutmeg as an ingredient often as it usually falls under the umbrella term natural flavors. My sister developed a peanut allergy in her mid-30’s. Both of ours are severe allergies out of the blue.
