Why do Americans seem to have so many allergies? I've never known anyone that had an allergy to peanuts for example

Why would you possibly think suburbs and cars are correlated to this?

Are you a Yuropoor?

...

Less exposure to the outside world.

It's just snowflake syndrome manifest, do you really need to start a thread about this? Pretty obvious what the answer is

are you really that curious

Yes.

eh, traditionally the vast majority of people never went more than a handful of miles from where they were born and the vast majority of people were rural
Hard to imagine growing up in the suburbs with a car exposes you to fewer things

Not any more then most peoples. There's just better healthcare that can detect it and better education to know when you have it so you can sue people for putting tree nuts in your food without labeling there's tree nuts added.

The death-by-peanuts allergy isn't common, it's just so severe that when someone ends up dead because of it, it makes the news. We aren't China where they push dead bodies off to the side of the road so they don't block traffic.

True we clean up our dead. We only push the living starving homeless off to the side of the road.

When was the last time a homeless person here starved? America's poor are fat as shit

FLU vaccines. There, you have your answer. Delete thread.

>Why do Americans seem to have so many allergies?

Because there is a lot of different kinds of foods in the US so coming across something you may not even know you are allergic to isn't uncommon

the allergy isn't to the actual peanuts, but to a mold that grows on the outside of it.

centuries of unabated inbreeding

>t. american

Really? Wouldn't it be relatively easy for researchers to find an effective way way to pasteurise them and wash the dead mold away? I mean, if they can fake a moon landing they're surely capable of a bit of nut washing.

This makes little sense, Americans are almost certainly the least inbred major nation. An insanely high portion of its population is descended from people from other places, and the taboo against inbreeding is much stronger than in much of the rest of the world (see every European royal family)

Maybe but it probably isn't worth the added processing cost to placate a small small percentage of the population of people who wouldn't ever be their customers anyway.
The resulting increase in production cost would cut into their profts, a lot more than just printing a warning on the label

they eat too less vegetable and fruit, antioxidants help to prevent allergies ( and other healths problems)
