We don't see peanut allergies in children in developing countries. I was just at the University of North Carolina. I live in Charlotte, North Carolina. Just down the road is a UNC nutrition team, and they have a focus on peanut allergies. There's a lot of new research and maybe some theories as to why we have our problems in the west. One of them is that we think children aren't introduced early enough to peanuts so they present as having an allergy.
