[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, you want people to thoroughly wash their hands after they eat a Snickers bar at a park with a playground? [/quote]

Ideally, yes. People should wash hands before and after eating. In a lurch, where there is no sink or soap available, commercial wipes are sufficient to remove most proteins. [url]https://www.foodallergy.org/resources/cleaning-methods[/url] Hand sanitizer with water doesnt work as well. [/quote]

My kids use hand sanitizing wipes to clean their hands before they eat a snack outdoors, but I don't expect them to wipe after they eat because they get their hands dirty in other ways. (If they ate in a messy way, that's another story.) I certainly wouldn't expect them to wash their hands if they ate something out of a wrapper.

I won't pretend that I know anything about being an allergy mom, and I'm sorry that this is the hand you were dealt. I do have an autistic child though, and I realize that the world doesn't revolve around him, and I can reasonably expect certain accommodations, but it's on him and me to manage his needs. I think it's similar in your case. It's unreasonable for you to expect people to wash hands after having a snack at an outdoors venue. It's on you to find an alternative if your kid cannot handle a trace amount of an allergen.[/quote]

Autism doesn’t run the risk of spontaneous death caused by going to lunch.[/quote]
