Why stop at ON the playground? If the nut allergy is so deadly that whatever is eaten at home can find it's way to the park, then OP really needs a complete ban on these foods. Because the magical thinking that the park equipment is clean as long as nobody is currently eating peanut products while ON the equipment is bizarre and nonsensical and sounds dangerous to kids like OPs child. Why risk the park at all?

This is so moronic. I don't get why you PPs are so triggered. Someone's kid could die. She's asking for courtesy and awareness. You lose your mind bc someone asked you to be considerate. You create an outlandish hypothetical about banning peanuts. Other PPs bemoan the loss of FREEDOM. It's a MF nut. It's not the end all be all. No one is asking for a ban, just awareness of the other kids who could die from it.

Though given how hard it was to get folks to mask during COVID when millions died, I understand that asking for courtesy for children with allergies is next to impossible

I'm just in constant awe and what total self absorbed jerks Americans are. We're really freaking terrible to each other.

Where does it stop, though? I'm fine with no peanut products in public. But if my kid has a PB&J at lunch at home, we wash our hands, and then go to the playground, OP is still yammering on about peanut oils.

Are you purposefully daft or just for fun? that's not what she said at all. Use common sense. If you've eaten a PBJ at home and washed your hands there's no issue. Why do you guys make up such ridiculous hypotheticals?
And, for perspective, it's a nut. In the grand scheme of things, it has absolutely zero impact on your life.

Says the people gambling with their kids life to go to a park.

children with allergies deserve to go outdoors and try to lead a healthy, active life. The fact that they bother you so much that you want them removed from society says so much about you.

You are not a good person. I mean, who is that awful to small children??

You're either massively overstating the risk of death to your kid or you're an unserious parent who doesn't take the allergy seriously. Pick one. Because continuing to take the chance makes you a pretty shitty parent.

I don't have a kid with a nut allergy. But I think you are actually a troll. Or an 18 year old incel in his mother's basement. There's no way that you're a grown adult with even a modicum of education.
So I'll leave you to your internet trolling and bashing of mothers. Enjoy your basement.

Oral Immunotherapy for peanut does work. My kid had anaphylactic allergy to peanuts (went to ER twice because of it), and for the last 10 months we'd been going to an allergy physician office twice a week.

He passed the food challenge. Now he can eat peanuts like the rest of us.

Might be something to look into. It's worth it.

PP here. I meant twice a month, not twice a week.

I was taught never to eat in front of other children, when I was a child, and I don't let my kids do so. They haven't withered away from starvation yet.

np Ok miss judgy pants. Just because you eat at the park does not mean you eat 24/7. I go to the park with my kids and sometimes it is over lunch time so yes I bring snacks and the dreaded "peanut butter and jelly sandwich" because my ds has Autism and that is what he enjoys eating.

So,you are free to do whatever YOU want but, if I want to take my kid to the playground and if he is hungry than we will eat at the picnic tables..( ever wonder what they are for?) than you and op will have to deal with it.

Sorry not sorry.

PS We are not eating on the playground equipment and we wash our hands. I would never smear peanut butter in your kids' face

It’s the plane that’s terrifying. Even with two Epipens. People eating nuts and no way for the plan to land in time.

I thought airplanes stopped passing out peanuts? I haven't received peanuts on an airplane in years.

You're a moron. If my kid might DIE because of exposure to things I have no control over may be at the park, we wouldn't go to the park. There's no way you're an actual parent if you think that's a smart thing to do. Quit trolling a parenting forum yourself.

So honestly, did you graduate HS? This is a real question because I just want to know if I'm right. By the style of writing, extreme rage at women, and tendency toward extremism, I am putting money down on you as a young teens/20s male living at home.

Even if you are a Qanon basement male, it's still good to educate yourself on the dangers of extreme nut allergies to many kids in the US. If you don't believe it, you can see here - https://www.allergicliving.com/2023/02/15/allergy-mom-reflects-on-3-tragedies-and-vulnerability/
Parents of kids with severe food allergies want them educated and to live a normal life. It is the right thing to do for their mental health and development. You should work to understand that, though that's probably just one on a list of many self-improvement to-do's for you.

Moron, take care of your own kids. Nobody is going to do it for you. It's scary someone like you might reproduce.

Got it. I'm putting money on GED ...at best.

I guess you can't defend taking kids with deadly allergies to filthy parks which you should know is incredibly dangerous, so you think insulting me makes you appear smarter. Got it. You know you're wrong and have nothing else to add to this discussion.

Oh, PP. I don't have to insult you to appear smarter. You're doing all the hard work for me.

So what do I do? Grab the snack and throw it out. I don’t care if I make an enemy out of every parent and nanny in the park. You will have to learn to aggressively put your child first because everyone around them won’t ever.

Let them be angry. My child’s right to life is more important than your kids snack.

Let me guess. You force other kids to wear masks because yours is immunocompromised.

But where does it end? Kids anaphylax to nuts, eggs, milk, shellfish.... and less commonly, foods like wheat or corn which are pretty much omnipresent. Kids anaphylax to dog dander! And bee stings! The solution is not for the entire world to stop bringing peanuts, tree nuts, egg product, milk product (including babies on milk based formulas- that's a no no! It could spill on the bench!), shellfish, or ANY foods at all into public areas, while also enclosing all parks and playgrounds so that bees can't get in. Having a child with an allergy is stressful and I get it, but no, you cannot police what people eat or what animals exist in a public park.
