It's weird how acknowledged the problem is in the US (and Europe?) and how rare it is elsewhere. Trying to convince people in certain countries that peanut allergies are real can be really difficult, because they have never heard of such a thing. It's also even hard to find information online about the worldwide prevalence of peanut allergies because almost all of the data is US-based, with the occasional tidbit from the UK or continental Europe.
