Oh Dear! no nuts please! What percentage of school children is allergic to nuts?

The other day I was filling up party bags for DS's birthday party and of the 9 children invited 4 of them could not have nuts, I think we only had one allergy free child in the party, the other third were allergic to milk or egg, and we have not meet them in any allergy association! :(
