[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back: the other thread had people saying that they don’t allow their kids to eat PB in the morning before daycare since it could transfer from clothes or hands. There was no hand wiping going on here and 3 year olds aren’t dainty eaters. Would you bring an extra shirt if they got dirty with it to ensure you didn’t cross contaminate? Unlike pine nuts or gluten, a kid can become dangerously sick though simple contact. [/quote]

OP, I'm one of the posters on the other thread that washing hands and change shirts.  I do that because (1) sticky hands are gross; (2) my kid is friends with that kid and 2 y/o's tend to play physically.  I don't know the severity of the allergies, but it's a specific situation that I'm changing our behavior to accommodate.  I do bring peanut butter to the playground, but would wipe hands, faces, etc. before playing out of common courtesy and to help minimize cross contamination.

It's a reasonable question, OP.  I've thought about it too.  But most allergy parents say they wouldn't expect everyone else to change their behavior, so I use that as a guide.  If playgrounds become nut free zones, then I'll happily oblige.[/quote]
