[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a nut allergic kid, but realize other people don't and might bring PB to a public place. It's my job to watch my kid until she's old enough to look put for herself (she's only 1.5). I do appreciate those parents who are conscientious enough to wipe their kid down after eating PB ?

That said, I once saw a 3 year old go into anaphalactic shock from nuts. It was horrifying, and I would never forgive myself if I was even indirectly a contributing factor to that. It scared me off ever bringing PB into public (this was before my nut allergic kid. My older kids have no allergies, but I wouldn't let them take a PB sandwich or snack to the park. My kids eating PB out of the house was not worth another kid's life.)[/quote]

I have watched my son have an anaphylactic reaction to milk. It is extremely scary, but again it is unreasonable to expect that every person should not have milk or milk products in public because he could die from it. I do think, though, that it is reasonable for parents/caregivers not to offer snacks to other kids who they do not know without checking with the parents first. I had to watch my son like a hawk to ensure that he never got goldfish at the park.[/quote]

As you should be doing.[/quote]
