[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If school policy is nuts are allowed - why are you making yourself crazy about this?

There are also kids allergic to blueberries and strawberries - are you thinking about not sending these foods.

There are kids with intense allergic reaction to gluten - are you cutting this out?

Seriously - follow the school policy and move on.[/quote]

You wouldn't be so relaxed if your child were the one with the peanut allergy.  My child does not have one, but I can't imagine the stress it must be for the parents of kids who do have the allergy.  Try to be a little more understanding.  Kids die from this allergy, you know.  Or do you even care?

Gluten cannot be inhaled, as the smell of peanuts can.  What is thought to be a mild peanut allergy can in one incident, result in death.  I have a 2 year old nephew that gets swollen eyes and sneezes profusely when his big brother eats a PB and J in his presence.       [/quote]

People can die from any allergy.

As a parent you cannot stop sending all potential allergenic foods to school. Schools have policies to deal with it. It's not a perfect world. [/quote]
