[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op: We discovered my 8 yo dd is peanut allergic a few months ago.  Didn't know before.[/quote]
So, she recently developed the peanut allergy? Or had she never had peanuts before? Did she break out in hives that cleared up with Benadryl? Or did she have full anaphylaxis from the peanut exposure?

The reason I'm asking is I can't figure out why your parents can't handle her peanut allergy. Obviously, they are flipped out by the idea of using an epi-pen but how severe could the allergy be if she didn't have it until she was 8? [/quote]

It's possible they had DD avoid peanuts because of the possibility of an allergy, but it wasn't confirmed until later.  Many daycares and even some schools are peanut-free.  Most schools and activities prohibit snacks containing peanuts.

Hives as a reaction once or twice or 50 times does not guaranty a hives-only reaction on a subsequent exposure.  I read recently about a boy who died on a family trip to Mexico with his parents.  After 18 years of reacting to accidental peanut exposure with hives, he had an anaphylactic reaction after eating a dessert that, according to the chef, did not contain peanuts.
