[quote=Anonymous]Oh boy.  Should OP apologize for her oversight in providing a mixed bag of candy that had selections with and without nuts?

Yes, she should, IMO.  Susie, I'm so sorry that I had mixed candy with and without nuts at Larlo's movie night.  I grabbed a bag of hershey's assorted candies and completely overlooked his nut allergy.  Thanks for your understanding.  Sally

She the boy's Mom handled things differently, yes too, IMO.  A follow-up text of, I'm sorry, I forget to remind you that Larlo has a nut allergy and he mentioned that there were candies there with and without nuts.  Please be mindful in the future.  He is good about checking things, but can sometimes can be forgetful too.

Should they kid never come over again?  IDK, that's his family's decision.

I'm someone who has a tree nut allergy.  Luckily, my reaction to tree nuts was never anaphylactic.  When I was younger, I got severe hives, swollen lips, and usually would also vomit.  Never had breathing issues.  As I got older, the vomiting went away, but would still get hives and feel crappy.

Now, I know immediately if I eat something with tree nuts and stop.  Despite my best efforts, I've still had issues even asking if something has tree nuts it in it before eating - this is both with homemade things and restaurants and have learned that discretion is the better part of valor when there is any doubt and I don't eat it.

Equally, I've poisoned myself as well by jumping the gun and assuming that I am clear.  Stupid is as stupid does.

Oddly enough, I am ok with brazil nuts and pistachios, but other nuts, forget about it.  Peanuts too, but they are technically legumes!

Good luck.[/quote]
