[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are trying to figure out if they need to do something unusual to keep your kid safe, like wash hands after handling an allergen or perhaps not have you over.

For example we simply do not host my nephew with serious allergies because I cannot make my house safe: we go to the park instead.  But we do host kids who have the same allergies, just lesser reactions or parents who are ok with exposure. [/quote]

The setting does not play to your explanation. This is just playground chatter not that we are going into someone's home. [/quote]

I have a kid with an anaphylactic allergy. Is it possible they are just chatting? For example my kids allergen is anaphylactic but it is pine nuts. I don’t really even think twice about cross contamination at most fast food places because pine nuts simply aren’t very prevalent. They are expensive and generally only used in a limited number of regional cuisines.

My experience is 1000% different from parents of kids with complex allergies that have to wipe down playground equipment before it can be used, and even with that end up in the ER monthly or weekly.

Can I relate as a parent of a kid with an epi-pen? Maybe, but I wouldn’t assume all allergy families experience the exact same thing.[/quote]
