Then, I must agree with other posts here that the allergic kids need to be sequestered somewhere. It's obviously too dangerous for them to be in public.

The first thing is to throughly educate the affected children that they are not to take food from other kids, especially baked goods.

I think the allergy is different for different people. Personally, I have to ingest some portion of a peanut to get a reaction, although rubbing a salted peanut on my skin will raise a rash. The severity of the reaction depends on how much I ingest. Consequently, I am very careful and I have not had a severe reaction in over 20 years.
