[quote=Anonymous]I was just told my daughter has a class 3 peanut allergy (also shellfish and soybeans). She used to consume peanut butter crackers, although I really don't remember her eating them in awhile, so perhaps she was having a 'reaction' she wasn't telling me about and just stopped eating them.

Anyway, I don't want her to force the classroom and her lunch table to be peanut free (she doesn't start kindergarten until next year). We've talked about her not eating other people's food, or eating something she has never had before or if she doesn't know what's in it. And she is good about asking "What's in that?" even when I'm cooking her food, so I am really not worried about her eating anything she's allergic to. And her allergy is not so severe that if she is just near it or touches a trace amount, she will have a severe and dangerous reaction like other kids do.

Do you think it's crazy to request that? I would obviously tell her teacher, but I'm not sure if there is just a standard rule that a peanut allergy means no peanuts at all. I just would prefer her learn to survive without being in a peanut free bubble, because it's not like for the rest of her life she can just assume people are going to make an allergy free environment for her.

I'm also new to allergies, so I know it's just a moderate allergy, but am not sure if that can turn into a severe one out of the blue. Does anyone have a kid whose allergy just escalated unexpectedly?[/quote]
