[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never heard of anyone talk about their kids' allergies that weren't "very severe." It's like there's no other kind. Their kids are always "very severe" and airborne is always a concern. Statistically, it's impossible.[/quote] Our allergist told us that there is no such thing as a mild peanut or tree nut allergy and that they are all considered severe since it is unpredictable whether a reaction will be mild or fatal based on testing or previous reactions. As for airborne reactions that is more rare and most nut allergic kids do not have a problem with airborne per research studies on the matter. However, with young kids the bigger concern is nut residue smeared all over the place which is why nut free classrooms are a good idea. The other big concern is inadvertent ingestion of the allergen which can happen even with super diligent instructions.[/quote]
