And you would be one of the very valid examples. I’m not saying these things don’t exist at all.
But a few too many crunchy-granola yuppie mothers have claimed that their kid has to be all but put on life support if someone drops a peanut in a mile radius, and between the claims and the demands for healthy kids for, say, banning them bringing a PB&J sandwich...it’s starting to get on people’s nerves.

One of the things I do with my son is I check packaged foods for peanuts in the ingredient list. But every once in a while I give him something I know contains peanuts. I’ll let him get the food almost to his mouth before intervening. I tell him he cannot rely on ANYONE to be diligent for him. He needs to be his own last defense and he needs to read the ingredient list himself.
Having said that, a couple months ago he ate something that apparently had some cross contamination. That happens occasionally. Chucky Cheese had some flour once that had been cross-contaminated at the flour factory. This time, I happened to be driving right past the hospital when he realized he couldn’t breathe.
