[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, what about PB&J sandwiches at a playground?  I packed my kids a lunch and went to the Palisades playground/spraypark (which is awesome, by the way).  I made sure to baby-wipe their hands and faces when they were done, and then did a quick baby-wipe on the picnic table they used.  [/quote]

This is the risk of having an kid who is allergic.  This is why I carry benadryl, steriods and an epi pen everywhere we go.  This is why I have an anxiety attack when DH leaves the house without the medication pouch.  This is why you drum it into your allergic kids head that they need to carry their medication with them everywhere they go.

There are risks in this world.  There are risks crossing the street for everyone.  Our adult neighbor died choking on a piece of steak in a restaurant (lack of oxygen led to complications, it wasn't just needing a heimlich.)  There are risks in not chewing your food properly.  This is just one more, potentially life threatening risk that allergic kids and their parents have to deal with.

Thank you for being so mindful and aware.  If everyone were like you our stress levels would be less.
