I have not heard of any school actually being made peanut free zones. Some frightned parents have tried, no doubt, but has it really happened when there were only 1 or 2 kids with PNA?
Same with the airlines. All the ranting by people who didn't want to give up their free airline peanuts. I have never failed to be given my peanuts on a flight & none of the passengers choked to death.
I think people who are that sensitive to peanuts are restricing their airline travel already. I know one woman who doesn't fly because of pna.
Some non allergic folks have their panties in a wad at the mere thought that someone somewhere is demanding special accomodation because of a fatal allergy. Good grief! I find it laughable.

I have never failed to be given my peanuts on a flight & none of the passengers choked to death. My point exactly. It is indeed possible for those with the peanut allergy to co-exist with everybody else.

Why not make lunch for the kid at home---brown bag is a great ideal!!!
To: Deadeye Division
All through my years of schooling, I have not witnessed or heard of a single peanut related assault. Where are these people and how can we keep them off the airlines? I like my peanuts & coke.
To: SamAdams76
The reason no one choked to death on my flights is because peanut allergy is such a rare condition there weren't any of those people there. The ones with the allergy make the sacrifice, they don't fly. You were suggesting that others had to give up their free peanuts & that it wasn't fair.

Peanuts no small danger So very true. One of the girls is a psychotic masochist; one of the boys a walking germ farm; and they have a beagle that flies a doghouse (inherently UN-aerodynamic). Steer clear of these "Lil' Folk."
To: Ditter
I don't fly a lot, 3-4 times a year but I am always served my airline peanuts & none of my fellow passengers choke to death. Peanut allergies are very rare. What airline serves peanuts? USAir, United, and Delta serve pretzels; I can't recall if Southwest serves anything, but they do not serve peanuts. I am referring the period 2000 to the present; I can recall many years ago getting peanuts and Blue Diamond Almonds.

I apologize for over reacting to your post.

No problem and I meant no offense with my post, that's why I asked.

My Doc told me to think of allergies this way: pretend you are carrying a bucket & every time you encounter something you are allergic to, it goes in the bucket. When the bucket spills over, you have an allergic reaction.The thing I'd like to know is: When the bucket spills over, does that mean it is now empty? Does it ever evaporate, so to speak, without spilling over!?? In other words, can I ever have a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup again!??

I was concerned about mold/mildew (just the thought gives me hives!!) when I moved to NC from Kalifornicate, but so far, so good. I think the winter kills it off and I'm careful about cleaning and keeping things as dry as possible.

The reason I did not answer you sooner is because I have been on a trip to Las Vegas. I wanted to be sure before I answered & I can say 'for sure' Southwest Airlines DOES serve peanuts. I recieved peanuts both ways, going & returning. I have been served peanuts on another airline since 2000 but I can't remember for sure which one.

Velly intellesting... Thanks for the update. I wonder if the snack is chosen randomly, depends on route, or ????
I flew SW from Houston to LA, FWIW.
To: ArrogantBustard
Our flight continued on to LA. So I am guessing, peanuts were NOT served on the SW Houston to LA flight you were on?
