Exactly. I carry almond/peanuts/cashews as snacks when I fly.
From the article:
Additionally, peanut dust is relatively heavy, Hoyt said, so it does not go airborne — “it simply falls down.”
Dr. Natasha Bhuyan, a family physician in Phoenix, Arizona, agreed that the risk would be minimal if other passengers were given peanuts.
“Other passengers eating peanuts in a different spot of the plane putting an allergic person in danger is unlikely,” she told Fox News Digital.
They would have to basically scrub the plane between flight and serve no nuts or any foods that can stimulate allergies in order to meet this demand.
In my opinion, if you are severe off in your need to have accomodations, drive.
The tyranny of the outliers. How about this? They shouldn’t fly, if that is their expectation.
I’m guessing that 90% of these nut allergies in children are because of a mom who is nuts to begin with. Made up for attention. Like tranny moms.
If you and your child are afraid of the world around you, then stay at home in a bubble.
I would bet this mother complains about EVERYTHING.
Poor bubble boy.
Going nuts over nuts
Can’t the afflicted person just wear a mask so they don’t breathe in the allergen particles? Wait, what? You can still smell the allergens through the mask? Which could still trigger a panic attack?
Darn, thought that was maybe a solution.
Thanks to the internet , every freak psycho, wierdo, antisocial personality and narcissist, now has a voice to trigger others and push other unstable personalities over the edge of sanity.
If a person has such lethal allergies that being in public harms them then perhaps it is up to the person to make their own accommodations.
A neighbor’s child has a severe nut allergy. Mom and Dad carry Epipens everywhere. The only accommodation they ask for from airlines is to board in the first group, so they can wipe-down their seats and not inconvenience others trying to board the plane.
They say others eating nuts is not a hazard to their child.

WHAT???? Are you trying to kill some snowflake’s poor little child?
You beast!
Don’t fly then, drive. Or book a private flight. You don’t get to incovenience everybody. Sheesh.
There’s too much co-mingling of references to nuts and peanuts in this article. Almonds are seeds and peanuts are legumes. It should not necessarily be inferred than an allergy to one means allergy to both.
That stated, given that nuts can be one of the few snacks available on some flights, it’s unreasonable to deny the entire passenger manifest an insignificant treat that they paid a lot of money for.
If the child’s safety is imperiled to this extent by daily living, it’s up to the child’s parent to do what’s within their means to assured its safety. That doesn’t include changing normal behaviors of everybody else in the world. Most of us are compassionate and understanding of special challenges, but there are limits. And I think it’s unreasonable to expect an airline to change prevailing policy in extreme circumstances like this.
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you are one.
The kid is unfit to be in public and should stay at home...... always
Being unfit to be in public is applied inequality. The kid is simply unequal and mortally endangered by plain living
Don't f**king eat them.
ENOUGH!!!!!
These allergy people expect the world to stop spinning because of their allergies.
Well, if I don’t have the allergies, I don’t have to accommodate you, or your allergies.
If I know about them, I will not intentionally serve you what you are allergic to, but to demand that everyone around or near you not partake is assinine.
Just like switching seats on an airplane to accommodate last minute planners....
Your lack of planning doesn’t constitute an emergency on my part.
This goes for schools too...
Why should every student be denied a peanut butter and jelly sandwich because one kid is allergic?
Another victim group that is trying to exert its new-found power over normal people.
Enough with the certified victim groups!
