No, no, no. You're latching on to one part of the post. I was commenting on the sudden explosion of kids with peanut allergies. What is wrong with getting a doctor's note to weed out the fakers from those with real allergies? Your neighbor would have no trouble getting that doctor's note, would he?

The child I was refering to next door to me who is allergic to fireants, his parents are *both* Drs. They write their own notes.
I don't see an explosion of peanut allergies I think you are seeing an explosion of newspaper articles about peanut allergies.
Allergies of all sorts have always been with us. If you & your family do not have them, feel fortunate. Don't think, that because you don't have them, others are lying about them.
