No, I don’t think that’s it. When you were in elementary or High School did everyone have to avoid anything with peanuts in it? We’re a bunch of kids carrying around epipens?

When I was in school, epipens were unheard of (they may even not yet have been invented) and any kid with a "problem" kept it on the "down low."

Today, they are all encouraged to blast their condition(s) to the world and demand that the other 99.9% kowtow to their "needs."

In my day, any kid with a special problem would have been required to eat his lunch in a stuffy little separate side-room, with Sister Mary sternly watching over him, and the whole issue would have been hushed up, as was proper.

When I was in HS, I was placed in "Special P.E." class, with a bunch of haemophiliacs, suspected gay-boys, and other assorted genetic misfits and screwballs. (Don't ask me why they thought I belonged there, but I made some life-long friends in that class!) No one made a big deal about it. Today, it would be spread all across the front page of the school newspaper.

Regards,

Vegan yogurt?

If it was vegan….it wasn’t yogurt. Yogurt is made from milk. It was probably more like goop.

The daughter of a friend had a peanut allergy. So all thru grade school, the mother, who was a nurse, would meet with the daughter’s teachers at the beginning of each school year and provide them with an epipen and instruct them how to use it.

Thanks for feedback. It’s amazing how the body can change over the years. I will have to bring this up with my allergist.

My friend’s daughter-in-law has a severe peanut allergy. She actually brought containers of her own food on her honeymoon and was allowed in the hotel kitchen while it was being prepared.

You think it was caused by the trip to India?

She does. She got the Deli Belly. Her brother is an MD working with contageous diseases, and he feels it could have triggered an immune response.
