[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re…”surprised” that people who have kids with potentially FATAL allergies are so vigilant? That takes you by surprise? WTAF?[/quote]

I get it if your kid has a severe allergy, but I don't view mine as a severe (at least based on what our allergist has said, lack of accidental exposures, freely eating out at restaurants, etc.) I will be more vigilant and carry the epi-pens, but I'm not planning on going overboard like making people around me stop eating peanuts. My kid knows to be careful. [/quote]

LOL, OK. So your kid has been making sure to have an epi-pen kit with her at play dates, takes it to every restaurant, and talks to servers and restaurant managers about her allergy? Wow. Impressive! At such a young age.

It’s also amazing that your kid understands that even mild allergies can become severe with no warning, especially when there are exposures over time. It’s wonderful that she realizes that even though she has not had a severe reaction as of yet, it could be a severe reaction at any time. Interesting that she knows that when you didn’t seem to know that.[/quote]

Um, why are you so angry? I didn't say any of the above. All I meant is my kid knows she's allergic to peanuts, not to eat peanuts, and to ask questions if she doesn't know if something has peanuts or not. She doesn't eat at restaurants without us and yes we tell the servers that she's allergic.  It's worked out fine for 6 years. [/quote]
