[quote=Anonymous]As an allergy mom, I don't think other kids should have to restrict their diet to accommodate my kids' allergies. That's not real world and the kids have to learn to navigate life where people around them are eating their allergens.

Further, restricting diet increases the chance for that other kid to develop a food allergy.

Final thought - allergy families should seriously consider treatment, ESPECIALLY if the allergy is so severe that being in contact with someone else who has eaten it is risky. Allergy treatment can begin at a very early age.  Options include OIT and TIP.  Xolair is an adjunctive option as well.

OIT is available locally at many allergists' offices. TIP is available only in CA right now, but will be available on the east coast in mid-2026 (likely NJ).

TIP is through the Food Allergy Institute of Southern California (they have a SF locale as well).  Many patients travel from the east coast to the SoCal clinic for this treatment.
