That's all they're trying to find out. I have a kid with complex allergies so I do get feeling sensitive--but at the same time, how much detail do you expect them to ask without it feeling like prying? They're opening the door for you to clarify exactly what the needs are ... which about 100x better than someone being like "yeah yeah gotcha" and not taking it seriously.[/quote]

My feelings exactly. We are totally willing to accommodate and do extra cleaning precautions and monitor food handling for allergy sufferers and will go above and beyond but I do sort of want to know if I should avoid feeding certain foods vs having to basically needing to autoclave the place if there is a risk of serious anaphylaxis. We do not have an allergy household and I am upfront about that because while we will try, it may be imperfect. I don't want to pry, truly, but I also don't want your child to die on my watch because my dog licked a peanut butter Kong a day ago and came into contact with your child. The people with the "sensitivities" have been ruining this too for the real allergy sufferers.[/quote]
