[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man, a lot of people on this board just do not care about others. Personally I would be happy to accommodate this request. No, the other person does not have an obligation to stop bringing the snack, but it's a fairly small thing one caretaker can do to make another a little less anxious. I don't think it's that big of a deal to ask. [/quote]

it isnt about not caring, it is absolutely an ineffective way to reduce allergy exposure and gives allergy parents a false sense of control. nut free schools have more incidents compared to non-nut free schools because they rely on no nuts vs other mitigation techniques

Why can't it be both? It's easy enough to care for others and also help parents of young children learn to mitigate exposure. It's really not a big deal and the caretakers might get to know each other better. [/quote]

nope sorry, your feel good feelings dont actually reduce risk. it makes parents and kids more comfortable and less diligent and thats where mistakes happen. Oh Carol I asked our baker about nuts for the cupcakes and they are nut free- not understanding that it has to be a nut free facility  AND susie homemaker cupcakes were made in the same kitchen she made her kids PBJ that morning.

OP- if your son has a life threatening peanut allergy look into the allergy dogs that can sniff nuts, even trace amounts.

You have a nasty attitude. Must be lonely to move through the world thinking that no one should help you or even deserves to help you. [/quote]

If you cared so much you would eliminate all nuts from your diet now. Never have any in your home and never pack any for your kids. Just assume you can always be near someone who may have a nut allergy. Why wait to be asked? Don't you care?[/quote]

My kids do not have allergies but I don't bring nut snacks to the playground. My kids obviously go to a nut free school so this isn't really a big deal. I also ask about allergies before playdates. So I know you're trying to be snarky, but I really do care.[/quote]

When your kids eat nuts they can always leave residue behind. Ban nuts in your house to be extra safe. So they don’t bring it anywhere, ever. Its a small sacrifice, if you care.[/quote]

One kids allergies do not trump another kids dietary needs/their own allergies. [/quote]
