[quote=Anonymous]I'm "that parent".  My DD has a peanut allergy.  She has touched peanut butter once at age 1 and swelled up like a balloon from her hand to her toes with both eyes swelling shut. She has never ingested peanuts, but based on that reaction, her skin test and blood work, I worry about the reaction if she accidentally ingested or touched peanuts.  We see a pediatric allergist in Bethesda and have never received a classification.

I am the reason your kid can't bring PB and J to school and I'm okay with that.  This is life or death and I've had to get over feeling reluctant to push schools on this because I feel bad for being "that parent" and honestly, let's have some perspective.  If you told me that something I was packing for my kids lunch was endangering the life of another kid at school I would not send it and and I wouldn't bitch about it.

We are only in preschool (3), but DD has been in daycare since 12 weeks old and everywhere we have had her already had a no peanut policy.  I suspect it will be the norm for many schools from now on because this is serious and kids are dying.[/quote]
