Most of these food allergies a psycho somatic. Grind up a few peanuts, stick them in an allergic kids food and you won’t see any difference.

******************************
I flew on airlines for over 40 years that gave out packets of peanuts. I never saw anyone go into allergic shock. Same was true when in elementary school, where many of us kids had a bologna sandwich and a P&B sandwich. No one went into the anaphalatic shock.

Perhaps helicopter parents, preventing their kids from playing outside and getting downright dirty, that have contributed heavily to all of the allergies that their kids seem to have today.

"Most" are probably just parents like we were...gave the kid a PB sandwich, she started crying a bit later and hives were breaking out all over and her eyes were swelling shut. Since then she's been medically diagnosed with it via contact reactions (in which--I believe--there are controls).

It's definitely real. Now what is causing it and why it is so prevalent now when it wasn't when I was a kid, I have no idea.

What if you’re wrong?
You risk serious injury, or death, of a child, and that’s funny to you?
Yeah, a real thigh-slapper.
Then you get charged with Murder One, and the trick is on you.
Anaphylactic shock is no joke.
Your comment is one of the most appalling I’ve seen on FR.
