In the United States, it is 1:200 or about 3 million people. Of those, 1/3 will have a fatal or near fatal reaction in their lifetime (thankfully most will be NEAR fatal - not fatal). Peanut Allergies cause 150 deaths a year in the US.

I could not give you a worldwide figure. Peanut allergies are common in the US, Australia, and Western Europe. Less developed countries really don't have the problem. One thought is that we are too clean and our immune systems are backfiring on us.

This depends to what "nut allergy" refers.
