We sincerely do sympathize; but we still don't think everyone else should have to be the cure. Kudos to her for carrying her pen and whatever other steps she takes to manage her condition.
I hope she works with a good nutritionist and diagnostician to find out if some necessary food, vitamin or mineral is missing from her diet or some other aspect of her diet or household chemical such as formaldehyde in carpeting or chemicals in paint or cleaning supplies is co-morbid with nut allergy.
Hope she does grow out of it. We had food allergies in our house, but eventually our sufferer is now able to eat all those foods in moderation, now being a grown person. There was co-morbidity between foods and pollen, and we got a lot of relief from a water-tank vacuum cleaner instead of a dustbag vacuum.
Thank you for your suggestions...She is now an adult and managing it fairly well—but that was not the case as a child...any my brohter did his best to research and protect her...companies are much better about providing info now, and no, neither my brother nor I are advocating more regulation or that people not eat peanut butter...
I was just rather surprised at comments that went beyond lack of understanding, lack of lack of caring...to some almost wanting to trigger allergies in those who have it...as if they deserve to suffer...basically saying “screw anyone with a life-threatening peanut allergy, don’t care if they end up in ER”
I am not advocating for more regulation, just some courtesy and consideration—which is clearly lacking.
