[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you need to have a little more empathy.  I know it's very hard to understand something for which you don't have experience.  I don't have any severe nut allergies in my family.  But my sister's children had a kid die at school because of kids sharing snacks that they didn't realize had nuts.  It's really insensitive to make fun of people's fear about this.  It's a very real fear (just Google deaths from nut allergies).  Of course, that guy eating a peanut snack on the train is not going to kill someone, but to gloat over this is really mean.[/quote]

Whoosh, hon. I think her glee was over the specific flavor of outrage featured here in dcum. Take a reasonable position - "nut allergies are serious, I am very worried about my child in this world" - now ratchet up the rage, to show you're a warrior mama and prove your parenting cred - "nuts have no place anywhere! they should be illegal, and people who are found with them should be tried for manslaughter!" I hope they can find a workable treatment for food allergies. I can't even imagined the terror knowing that a tiny little speck could kill your child.[/quote]
