[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I'm not a huge fan of animals on planes but I think the comparison is flawed.  SW isn't banning nuts, so people (like pp) who want to bring nuts still can.  But by not giving them away for free, I would guess they cut the number of people eating peanuts by, say, 60-70%. This means significantly lower risk that my peanut allergy toddler will somehow find a surface I haven't wiped down that is covered in peanut dust. There is still a risk that someone by is will eat peanuts or tree nuts- just as there is a risk we will sit next to an animal.  The new policy is more similar to saying "we know people have asthma and will stop giving a puppy to everyone on board". [/quote]

But on the other hand, there are lots of steps you can take to reduce your toddler’s exposure to peanut dust, such as wiping down services, whereas there is nothing an asthmatic person can do to prevent breathing an allergen that’s in the air.

If only there were some product ... some kind of thing you could put on your face to filter the air, if you were that severely affected ...

Someone should really invent that.  :roll: [/quote]
