Why is it often not enough for someone who is allergic to nuts to just not eat them like one would with other foods? Why does the entire environment need to be nut-free?

The allergy isn’t worse than shellfish or bee allergies, but nuts are “worse” in that nuts actually can make dust and stuff that gets spread around. Like you rarely get crab meat in the air but peanut dust? Sure, that’s a thing.
