I think that's BS myself -- what happens if they step outside, and their neighbor eat eating a reese peanut butter cup? There has to be some personal accountability. Wear a surgical mask if you have that severe of a reaction (I don't actually know if that works, just saying that as an example) | I've been told its more severe indoors as it's a confined space without much air movement.
Hope your kid doesn't develop a nut allergy. =) Current paediatric thinking is to expose kids early, before the age of one.

Take this with a grain of salt but I read somewhere some time ago allergies are caused by genetically modified foods, 30 - 40 years this wasn't as big of a problem as it is today.
I think it sucks that everybody has to cater to the weak, just because YOU can't stand something doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to enjoy it. Go somewhere else if something bothers you. If you have a problem have a solution readily available. Sure I'll try my best to not expose you to it but I shouldn't be not allowed to enjoy something that I want to enjoy in a free country.
Take smoking for example, as long as the smoker is far enough from doors windows and vents, it's up to YOU to avoid it if you don't like the smell of smoke. Should smoking be banned completely?
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and well if it kills you, survival of the fittest I guess.

People should expose their children to more things early on rather than doing the opposite

Just load all your kids up with peanuts and gluttonous rice balls and send them out packing to thin out the heeerrrd!!! just kidding.... or am I? | I kid you not lol. I can't drink milk, chocolate milk, ice cream or block of cheese (pizzas are fine). Some milk,cream mix in coffee is ok. Same with pizza or pasta.
But too much milk or cheese products I literally will feel very bloated. But I know is my issue so I am not going to make people around me cater to my needs.
I feel like this whole peanut allergy thing there have to be some person responsibility. I mean sure the school might serve peanut free food but what about your friends or that kid sitting 2 tablets away eating a PJS or just some nuts for snacks. He doesn't know you are allergic to it. The whole world can't cater to you.

There hasn't been any confirmed reason for this.
I went to elementary school with a kid who was deathly allergic to peanut butter. But all of us kids knew about it and the student always made sure to stay away from those of us who were eating a pbj sandwich until we washed our hands.
Personally I'm slightly torn between wanting to be a helicopter parent or telling my kid to "suck it up, its a big and ugly world out there... need to watch out for yourself!" I grew up with parents who followed the latter style and I personally think it's the more appropriate one. However, I know that's not for everyone.

As someone whose child is allergic to nuts (of any kind, poor girl takes after her mother) I can understand why she would be up in arms about it. No one wants harm to come to their child. But I also don't think it's fair to deprive children of (what I consider to be) a staple. Some families can only afford pbj. Should their children go hungry because one child has an allergy? My daughter was taught to not touch things with nuts in them and she's very good about watching to make sure none of her friends give her anything with nuts in them. I think it comes down to the child knowing what to avoid, and maybe like Berz said, finding another schooling solution until the child is better able to handle the allergy (if it's one that lessens with time, like mine with milk). Just my .02$

fucking finally
i think restaurants should all be peanut free
its whatever anyways and its too much a hassle if someone is allergic and gets a reaction
It could enhance the flavour of a dish but there can be something else replacing it imo. Too many situations where someone gets a reaction and hell breaks loose.

pity me for those times when the kids have special days at school (like their bday) and you have to make sure each kid in their class (two classes because the twins have separate home rooms!) has some type of fucking treat that they aren't allergic to. Oh and what about the kids that only eat organic, or special diets cuz of religions (or maybe their parents are just frikken picky like me  ) when parents ask me what the kids allergies are i tell them they have a nut allergy but don't go out of their way to get them anything special. don't get me started on their hockey team events as well...fuck me I'm that dad that makes sure that each kid gets a treat to remember the day. Don't get me wrong the wife helps arrange but i pay for it 
oh and all four of my boys are allergic to peanuts and whatever else (not severe to kill but enough to look like will smith in hitch), i still have a jar of pb sitting on the kitchen counter, roasted garlic peanuts in the pantry. I just teach the little fuckers stay away from it and have the epipens and benadryl in handy places they know.
The only good thing i can take away from having kids with allergies is when im eating something i don't want to share with them and trust me, as a parent you know what I mean, i'll tell them there's nuts in it and they leave me alone.  | |

K - grade 7 my class wasn't allowed PBJ sandwiches because we had 2 kids allergic. It wasn't the end of the world to not have them but it did suck. As and adult now, I still eat PBJ sandwiches on a regular basis as it's a good go to quick and easy comfort sandwich. One of the kids parents bought us a happy meal once a year as a thank you...wasn't worth it but it was better than nothing.
They could put epi pens around the school similar to how they put AED machines in buildings but I could imagine dumb ass kids taking them.
There's so many fucking allergies and having to cater to certain people now either at school or work. You can't wear cologne/perfume to work since it bugs some fat broad who doesn't even work anywhere near you or even on the same floor, can't wear a necklace with a visible cross/religious symbol on it as it might offend someone, can't have visible tattoos, can't make jokes around other people because there's some whiny person who finds them offensive even though they're not part of the conversation and they're eve's dropping.
Life is slowly turning to one giant boring place.

But in regards to the kids... if your child has special needs, why not send them to a special needs school where they know how to handle these conditions and be safe? Granted, no school like this exists but aren't there enough kids with allergies in this city to fill up a school? They can even be taught how to handle their allergy and what to do in case of exposure.

Same. I love dairy too much. Enjoy now, suffer later. Sometimes sooner than later.
When I was a kid I was allergic to shellfish. I used to break out in hives and have to take benadryl. But I loved it so much and felt bad if I couldn't eat it, so I just suffered the consequences. Eventually, I guess my body adjusted and I was all good.

Ya so lets segregate people. Have a school for cripples, a schools for kids with allergies, schools for kids with diabetes, schools for gays, school for trans the list can go on. It's peanuts for gods sake not a big deal to keep it out of a kids lunch.

So I believe it can be done, unless someone is deathly allergic to it, maybe building up a tolerance is the way to go.
I used to be very slightly allergic to some cherries where my throat would itch and lips would swell but I ate them anyways. Eventually it went away.

NOT EVERY SINGLE KIDS IN THE SCHOOL, TEACHERS, PARENTS OR GUEST SPEAKERS KNOWS SOMEONE IS ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS. IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT AND THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CATER TO YOUR SPECIAL NEEDS.
What about the malls, restaurants, food carts etc etc do they have to cater to anyone who have peanuts allergy now?
