I think there is a willful lack of knowledge about how severely life-threatening some peanut allergies are.

This woman is a nut ball.

If you have the special condition, it is your job to take your own special precautions, not the entire worlds to make sure you are taken care of.

Another typical lib.

Shouldn’t the parents just carry a strong antihistamine kit like the ones available for folks allergic to bee stings?

And what can be done about those women who wear strong perfumes and cause allergic sneezing?

Im all for it as long as the free peanuts are replaced with something else just as substantial. Like free roast beef sandwiches :-)

That being said, this mother’s FIRST instinct in trying to protect her allergic child is to LOBBY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to REGULATE the behavior of others.

What would you do?

How do you know this is her FIRST effort to protect her child?

Just have peanut free flights just for those people. Of course not many planes would be available to fill. Or don’t serve peanuts at all - and - people will have to go through a TSA rinse to clean whatever peanut residue might be on the person - then too, ban peanuts at airports ..../sarc

What about a section of the plane that is free from perfumes, colognes, fabric softeners, etc???

I would decide if it was that severe that he couldn’t go to places that might cause a threat to him including air travel. It is called sacrifice.

Pretty basic.

You have to be a special kind of weird to lobby the federal government to change the world for your individual situation.

A young girl died at a mall in NC when she ingested Chinese food that had been cooked in a wok used to make Kang Pao chicken. The ambulance didn’t have an epipen that would have saved her life.

That being said, no amount of cleaning or trying to regulate others’ behavior will take away every peanut molecule floating in the air or embedded in an airplane seat from an airplane where tens of thousands of passengers have eaten peanuts for decades.

There’s a smaller fraction who are so allergic, that merely inhaling small airborne peanut particles triggers a severe allergic reaction. However, that is a subset among those allergic to peanuts.

Things not to do when you have a peanut allergy.

#65- eat Chinese food at a mall, regardless of what they say.

That settles it!!!

Ban zoos, ballparks, grocery stores!

We can’t have this plague. It must not stand. Call a congressional committee asap.
