If you have a kid with nut allergies would you be comfortable

Going forward - we’re going to treat every nut and seed as extremely dangerous so in our situation-I would be terrified. My other kids have no issues so all very new to us.

OP here,

I am so sorry, that sounds really scary. I also have a kid with life threatening allergies, and a history of hospitalization due to them, although they weren't food allergies, so I don't want to down play how scary that is. If this kid was allergic to seeds, or if I wasn't 100% sure they aren't allergic to poppy seeds I'd never take a chance. I just want to be super clear that I know, for a fact, that she is not allergic to poppy seeds. I make lemon poppyseed muffins a lot, and she eats them. I just use a different brand of poppy seeds.

I hope you get answers that can help you feel safer.
