I have wondered if there are different fertilizers or pesticides being used on peanut farms that could be contributing. Are peanuts absorbing something from the ground that has been introduced?
However, I also wonder whether we are just more aware because we hear more on the news, etc. There were three kids in my elementary school (which I attended 35-42 years ago) who had peanut allergies. One was a neighbor who had a reaction after eating apple cobbler with her school lunch. Her mom went ballastic on the school because they had used peanut oil and not warned the girl, even though the school had been notified and warned the girl when brownies or cookies had peanuts in them.
My ex-husband blames my daughter's peanut butter allergy on me because I ate a ton of it while pregnant. I ate the same amount when pregnant with my son though and he's not allergic to it.
When people say they never heard of these things until recently, I'm always kind of surprised.
