Bending over backwards for food allergies is the equivalent to fricking Darwin's corpse in the ear.
Why the ear?

I know about the teal pumpkin project because I read mom blogs but I don't participate. We always have glow bracelets anyway and usually do not buy candy with peanuts but we don't specify that we are a "teal pumpkin house". First, I have enough to do without have to get a teal pumpkin and special treats. Secondly, we just leave the pumpkins at the end of the driveway and kids help themselves and I'm not going to police it to make sure the right kids pick from the right pumpkin. Thirdly, I don't want the liability if I pick a treat I believe is safe and a kid gets sick or chokes on it or something and they come back on me because by displaying the teal pumpkin, I am assuring it is safe for their child.
I am probably not the right person to respond though since my daughter's cheer leading group is currently caught in the cross hairs of a nut-allergy mom and we're all kind of sick of her.

People expect to be accommodated for everything these days. I get diabetics at work that get mad if you don't have their certain brand of sugar. I always tell them to not put their health in someone else's hands and bring their own.

That's what random pennies are for. Give the kid 6 cents.

Should have hit her in the face with a sack of peanuts

They can at my kid's school, the peanut allergy kids just have to eat at a separate table in the lunchroom. A few days a month the school room actually serves PB&J! If your kid is in a peanut free classroom (mine is this year), goodies and such have to be store bought with the original ingredients label. Otherwise you can bring in homemade nut-free treats.

Exactly, hence why there's a website where houses can register so teal pumpkin helicopter moms will know which houses plan on accommodating them.

Why cant the kids/parents just ask for candy only?
"Trick or treat, no candy bars or nuts please".

Are kids with peanut allergies really supposed to not eat any candy with chocolate because it was made in the same factory potentially? I have a hard time believing these companies would not have extremely good control on this by now? Furthermore, is that not segregating your kid out? I mean if your kid is old enough to know a 'teal pumpkin' then they are old enough to know what candy has peanuts.
My 3 year old (and barely 3) doesn't like sour candy she calls (spicy) and I was at the door when a couple people offered her some and she politely told them no thank you because it's 'spicy'. No one cares if a kid turns something down. The whole idea of labeling and segregating everyone out is so absurd.

Did you guys know that the new recommendation for introducing PB is before a baby is a year old (I think 8 months?)? I have a baby and nearly fell over at her 5 month well visit when her pediatrician said they changed the recommendation from two years to basically whenever you introduce solids. She said that they think delaying exposure actually created more peanut allergies.

That's what I was saying earlier. It doesn't create more allergies it creates more psycho idiotic parents that think their kids have an allergy.
Statistically the chance of having a true 'allergy' to more than one thing is insanely low, yet how often do you hear this? If you are in an office with more than 10 women chances are you have one with 'multiple allergies'.
ETA: peanut allergies are legit and very dangerous, all I'm saying is there is a very high percentage of kids that parents think they have one and don't.

It depends on the severity of the peanut allergy. My wife's isn't near that bad, so she doesn't worry about that kind of exposure, but those with worse peanut allergies may need to.
Most kids just grab candy from the bowl, and we let non-Teal Pumpkin kids also pick toys if they want to. It just makes sure that kids with severe allergies have an option that works for them. Nothing wrong with giving kids more options. The website just alerts parents to locations where such an option exists.

I personally think it's a shame that is only store bought treats. I bet it was Hershey that spead the poison and razor blades rumors. Because there's never been an instance where that happened, and who benefited from those rumors?

I'm not even sure what teal looks like

It's basically a gay version of blue.

It's also easier to treat the younger you are so the sooner you find out if you are allergic to peanuts the better. The truth is most parents that say their kid is "allergic" aren't "I'm going to die" allergic. They just get a little runny nose and maybe some skin contact reaction, nausea, etc. The Anaphylaxis cases are far less common than these parents would like you to believe.

My mom is from a third world country and I am fairly sure she ate whatever, drank, and smoked with me in the womb, and then fed me all kinds of shite I wasn't supposed to eat as a baby. I really don't think it is a coincidence that the current generation is full of sickly kids.
