Or Israeli: Israel presents a unique experiment because you have people from different genetic populations from different parts of the world collecting in Israel(eg Sephardic jews from Spain, Ashkenazi from central Europe, Mizrahi from Asia, etc).
Something interesting is that peanut allergies in Israel are far lower than for Jews living in Spain, central europe, etc...
One of the most popular snacks in Israel? Bambas - peanut butter puffs.

Yeah our doctor specifically recommended Bambas. Babies love them and they sell them at Trader Joe's.

and now I can direct people to you for Asian with peanut allergies lol... but yeah just saying incident rate is crazy low.. I probably know indirectly around 2000 Asian or so growing up in Asia till I was 10 never heard of anyone had peanut allergies.. seafood yes, but peanut would be considered borderline theatrical definitely not anaphylaxis styled
