I worked with a guy who had a severe peanut allergy, among other significant health problems. Way that I found out was that I brought a PB sandwich to work and was eating it in my cube. He came by, on his way out the door - obviously in some distress (red face, swelling, sweating) - and asked that I not do it again.

The respectful thing was to stop bringing PB&J's. No problem. I've no idea how he - and others like him - live. Always figured that you actually would need to ingest the product to have a reaction. Sounds like girl in this story had much the same level of difficulty.

However, I'm not as sympathetic towards helicopter Moms with a Munchausen complex who insist that their children have severe peanut allergies because the kid sneezed once near the peanut section at a grocery store. They exist too, unfortunately, and trivialize the problem for those who have serious difficulties.

Looking back at the kids I went to elementary school with I suspect that at least 20% of the kids would have been catagorized as learning disabled nowadays.
