[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can have an allergic reaction anywhere between 15 minutes to hours later. A 45-minute delay is completely within the normal range.

None of this proves that she couldn't have been exposed to something after the meal. She could have come into contact with an allergen anywhere.[/quote]

Sure, if she ate something later. But, if she didn't eat anything later, then no.[/quote]

This can't be right. Our kids can't eat peanuts at school because other kids might die, remember? So it's not just about what the person with the allergy has eaten supposedly they can die by touching something with the allergen on it like a handrail or door knob. Otherwise why are peanuts banned from school?[/quote]

What does an individual school policy have to do with this?

As if it was only 1 School.... haha. But we're told no peanut b/c airborne, dust, residue, etc. But everyone is like no, not possible the Dr had to ingest the peanuts no other scenario is possible. Something doesn't add up. [/quote]

A school policy is just that...a policy. You can agree or disagree with a policy.

For a food allergy, it must be ingested for anaphylactic shock. Sure, you could get contact hives or a rash. But not anaphylaxis.

There are stories aplenty about peanut allergy kids ingesting, and dying, at school from consuming such food.  Not from smelling it.

FWIW, my kids don't go to a peanut-free school. I wouldn't care if they did, though.[/quote]

No peanuts is pretty standard at school, camps, planes, etc. The risk is from more than just eating, from what we are told. Why would a plane ban peanuts because of an allergic passenger? I think you just don't know what you're talking about.[/quote]

Even if you are allergic to peanuts, touching, smelling or inhaling particles from peanuts cannot cause an allergic reaction—at least not the serious, life-threatening type that everyone with a peanut allergy fears. You are not in danger unless you eat them.

That is false. Rare, but happens. Therefore, how can we know where the Dr was exposed to her allergen?
