Not actually true. I used to think the peanut allergy thing was ridiculous and overblown until my younger brother was born severely allergic. He’s gotten some sort of therapy to lessen his allergic reaction to it, but if you touched a peanut with your finger and then touched his skin, the spot you touch breaks out with hives. It’s bizarre. The real concern with him at the stadium is all of the dust that whips around in the air—if he inhales it, he goes into anaphylactic shock.

We’ve never had an issue with the food, though, and he’s never had an incident in the stadium. We’re pretty conscientious about keeping him away from peanuts. But he is a teenager now and his allergy has been lessened. It was more worrisome when he was younger.

OP, I know you’ll keep an eye on your child, so you should be ok. Just be sure to keep your Eli pen with you.
