Bad assumption. Holding ones head under water for 20 minutes is
nearly always fatal for the entire population. That we aren't all
dead from it does not mean it isn't deadly for us.
There *might* be tons of folks with minor peanut allergies-- I'm just
saying you can't draw that conclusion from the number of deaths.
