Answer:

Peanut allergy

Explanation:

Peanut allergy is a food allergy caused by peanuts. It is caused due to immune system's type I hypersensitivity reaction. Dendritic cells recognize peanut allergens as foreign pathogens. Immunoglobulin E acts to release histamine from mast cells which causes the symptoms of allergy.

The symptoms include hives, itchiness, vomiting, diarrhea etc. In severe cases asthma like symptoms develop, blood pressure drops and cardiac arrest might occur. Allergic exposure can occur via ingestion and also via skin contact or inhalation of peanut allergens.

Answer:

Taking more samples from different parts of an acre.

Explanation:

Validity and accuracy of the data is crucial for any serious research. In this particular case, the most accurate data would be obtained if earthworms would be counted on the whole acre. Of course, this would consume lot of time, people, money etc. That's why methods for estimation are used. Estimation best works with large number of samples. Since one acre equals over 4000 square meters, taking only five samples from such a big area is simply not enough for obtaining valid data.

One of the possible ways to improve estimation is to take more samples per acre while avoiding taking adjacent samples because it could be possible that number of earthworms in one part of an acre is increased (or decreased) for any reason, which would lead us to wrong conclusion.
