According to the interviews they didn't discover that she was allergic until they started filming.
I was able to attend the Netflix panel at NYCC tonight and they screened the first episode for it. It had some pacing issues but I think this show will be a good example of how to reinvent a series, it was dark without being grim and gritty and also had humor without being over the top silly like the original.
Sadly my fears about Salem not being a huge part of the show seem to be true, though I thought he stole the show whenever he was on screen.
