It's quite possible that those with severe reactions die in childhood, and 
survivors are probably not subjected to expensive tests to determine what exactly 
is wrong. Until this century in the US, a number of people were just "sickly"; 
athsmatics and others had "weak chests", and so on.

The USA may be well fed, but healthy? With health care providers that get paid 
when you're sick, not when you're well?
