Actually,that is a good question. WN serves peanuts as well. Given that the prevalence of some level of peanut allergy is around 1% (
for example )- although I would imagine that serious reaction is substantially less- it's somewhat a surprise that anyone still serves them.
Cheers.
What's interesting is:
. A notable finding in this study is that >25% of children and 50% of adults who reported peanut or tree-nut allergy did not seek medical evaluation. Even more remarkable is that after medical evaluation for peanut or tree-nut allergy, self-injectable epinephrine was prescribed to approximately half of the children and less than one quarter of the adults.
This is consistent with my experiences as a physician... many people claim allergies when they really don't have them. So, of the 1% people reporting allergy, only 1/2 seek medical attention, and only 1/4 are considered to be true allergies... meaning only 0.1% of the population actually has a peanut or tree nut allergy. I'd speculate that few people have "severe" allergies.... especially the kind that breathing the cabin air while others eat peanuts is lethal.
