The problem specifically with peanut allergy is that if it's severe enough, it can actually be a big enough deal that someone in the same room/plane is eating a peanut. And if this person was willing to go to this length, theirs likely is at that stage. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth it.

Most other extremely severe allergies are unlike that. It's why you hear about severe peanut allergies more than any other type.

Peanuts are the hand grenades of the allergy world - you just need to get close enough and they'll get you
