Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Is there a relatively simple explanation as to why peanut allergies are more common/dangerous than other food allergies?Well again, I think the speculation about them becoming so common is based on the idea that kids are exposed to too much of it, too soon.
As for the reason they're dangerous, maybe it has to do with the fact that they contain protein? I don't know why I think that, I just do.
To introduce peanuts to your child’s diet, first dab a small amount of peanutbutter on your child’s skin.
Or, upon noticing it has been awfully quiet for a just a smidge too long, wander into the kitchen to find a not-yet-walking babt happily sitting in the cabinet, chortling with quiet glee as he consumes fistfuls of peanut butter straight from the tub.

Given my unholy love of peanut butter, I suspect a scenario similar to this was my introduction to it, as well.
Better peanut butter from the tub than silver polish, I guess.
I'm surpised only 100 people die annually from anaphylactic shock from peanut allergies (according to Betsy's first link)
Yes, but that doesn't take account of how many people had near-death experiences. When you're trying to control measles, you look at measles cases, not measles deaths.
Most of the anecdotal peanut stories I hear are along the lines of "and if I hadn't had my Epi-Pen I would have died". Making a kid run to the office for his epinephrine is worth avoiding in its own right.
Sonofabitch is gone.
He's being replaced by the head of the Coast Guard, who by all accounts did a great job.
I was blown away when I found out that "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" is actually about Art Garfunkel.
I'll see your "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" (which is easy, since I've never heard of it) and raise you a "Little Red Corvette."
In my defense -- Trojans weren't a popular condom brand where I grew up.
It's not much of a defense, but it's all I have.

BWAH!
Funny cause that was me yesterday.

Given it was very clear from early on that my nephew was going to be Danger Boy, everything clearly toxic was housed elsewhere. Well, as long as you count all my brother's flipping car parts and sockets and wires as nontoxic. But the child learned early how to work a socket wrench!
