This allergies hysteria is just nuts -- Christakis 337: a2880 -- BMJ

This allergies hysteria is just nuts -- Christakis 337: a2880 -- BMJ

It's strange we see 'Warning: may contain nuts' on so many food items these days it makes the whole thing pointless. If you were allergic to nuts I bet you have to ignore the warning or starve to death. It seems the whole thing is more hype whipped up by the media. It's strange that I never see a seafood warning on my fish and chips, or if I buy someone flowers "Warning: may attract bees."
