Sadly, it is not altogether unusual these days in children especially. Both 
my children have allergies to some things, like nuts and peanuts, that can 
be life threatening. Doctors are not sure why there is a such a spike in 
the number of children with allergies and asthma in the West. One of the 
theories that is being advanced is that our aseptic society has pretty much 
eliminated serious challenges to the immune system so an idle immune system 
looks for something to do and turns upon itself. Children from areas of the 
world where pollution is far higher and sanitary conditions are far worse 
do not seem to have the same rate of asthma and allergies, though they may 
suffer from other nasty things like cholera, dysentery, and malaria.
