I was on one of the last airliners to pass out peanuts a while back. Suddenly they announced that someone on the plane had “peanut allergies” so we were instructed not to open our peanuts and they’d be by to pick them up again. Of course I had a pocket full of these peanuts from previous flights, etc. We weren’t allowed to eat peanuts on the flight. They acted like it was anthrax or something worse.
It is as bad as anthrax for a peanut allergic person. It can kill the person, even if just by ingestion/inhalation of peanut dust.
Oh please, you were not on one of the last flights to serve peanuts. Airlines are still serving them unless they get a prior request not to. Anyone who is that allergic to peanuts would inform the airline when they bought their ticket. I am not personally acquainted with any children who are allergic to peanuts but I do know a 55 year old woman who is.

Delta still passes out peanuts, FYI. I was given two packs Sunday afternoon, 8/12.
