I've heard that a lot of people are allergic to peanuts. Is this true?

Yes, it is true. Peanut allergies affect about 1% of the population. People with peanut allergies can have an allergic reaction if they come into contact with peanuts or peanut products. Symptoms of a peanut allergy may include hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, and anaphylaxis.
