Why don't kids with severe allergies go to special schools?

It's crazy how everyone is affected by the bad genes of one or two kids.
Peanut butter sandwiches will cease to exist in the near future. Kids can't have them.
Now I get a note saying no more cashews or pistachios. Neither of which are truly nuts.
What's next no flour bread or no milk?
Crazy. I get some kids can have severe reactions. Then maybe it's those kids who should be restricted.
Sorry George Washington Carver, you're not going to be semi popular every February anymore.

Yes. Straight Homer Plessy.

I agree. That's why I support five guys. A private business that has decided to alienate broken individuals with peanut allergies

essentially, for the same reason handicapped kids are "mainstreamed"
plus - ADA (easily one of the best examples of good intentions leading to terrible policy)

My daughter has a severe peanut allergy and the school has her eat lunch with the teachers just to be safe. Kids are still allowed peanut butter sandwiches, etc
Maybe send you kid to another school

Maybe insensitive, but I feel like the severity of these allergies is way overblown.

Every school is no peanuts. You failed on introducing peanuts to her as an infant, bub.

She was having reactions at 8 months old, bub.
Introducing a child to peanut butter doesn’t guarantee that they won’t have allergies towards them, because not all allergic reactions are the same.
It’s funny doctors/scientists are recommending earlier exposure to peanuts and now every kid that has the allergy it’s the parents fault. It’s not that cut and dry

I feel like the peanut allergies are, or at least should be, diminishing now that Pediatricians are now telling parents to introduce these foods earlier
I was pretty shocked that my daughter's class had zero kids with food allergies
Definitely makes the monthly snack turn easier

my ex was allergic to peanuts. we had to be picky about where we would eat out. we went to a restaurant and was told that they didn't cook with peanut oil. their house made salad dressing was made with peanut oil, though. she ended up in the hospital for a couple of days. i thought she was gonna die at the table. scared the hell out of me. called 911 and luckily there was a walgreens nearby and the pharmacist gave us an epi pen since dumbass ex had forgot to bring hers.
I'm not saying every business should try to cater to every allergy but the reactions can be very severe. If a restaurant seemed unsure of what they used we wouldn't eat there.

I’ve heard theories on both, some say it’s better to wait to introduce it and some say earlier. My nephew is highly allergic and started eating peanut butter at like 6 months old. At 4 broke out in hives and a year later at school had to be intubated by medics due to a kid with peanut butter on his hands touching my nephew in the face. That was after an epipen was used prior to medics getting there. He’s in his 20s now and hasn’t touched although doctor did tell him he may have outgrown the allergy.
My mother in law starting teaching in the 50s and said they had kids even back then with peanut butter allergies, it just wasn’t talked about as much apparently. It’s not a new thing, although seems like it’s gotten worse.

Man, I do love peanut butter alone on a spoon or a good PB&J once in a while.

Also as a medic myself peanut butter allergic reactions and wasp stings are some of the scariest calls. I’ve had near fatalities with pb and I’ve had 2 fatalities due to wasp stings. Also one fatality due to shrimp from anaphylaxis

My daughter also has severe peanuts allergies that started when she was 7 months old. We were just in a restaurant that cooked with peanut oil and she had a reaction. Rushed to the hospital. Now we carry the EpiPen and have to check ingredients and if restaurants cook with peanut oils.
I dont feel she should be sent to a certain school when she gets older bc of this. I have no allergies and her mom just to cats. So idk where the allergy even came from. All I know is it's scary. Have alot to worry about.

I have a child who just started kindergarten. After sitting through the parents' orientation I'm convinced it's easier to get crack-cocaine in the school than anything made from a peanut or ANYTHING that could have possibly passed by a peanut at any point in its production. All told, out of a class of 100+, I think only 2-3 kids have peanut "allergies." (one mom said the allergey "wasn't that bad", so I don't know what the frick to think) Nonetheless, that means all lunches and snacks have to pass though the equivalent of US Customs before they are allowed in.
It's ridiculous and this shite wasn't a problem 30 years ago. My school was relatively small (roughly 500 kids total) and maybe 1 or 2 people had a peanut allergy, if that. Moms sent snacks for birthdays, Christmas, etc. all the time and no one got sick, let alone died. Now, apparently, if a peanut even gets within 30 feet of the campus it is treated as if it's a nuclear bomb.
We had to take my youngest child to an allergist (not allergic to peanuts, but wanted to figure out what was giving her rough skin). I asked him about this peanut epidemic. He bluntly said it is because over-protective parents don't introduce peanuts early to their children today and thus, they develop these allergies. He also said that peanut allergies are virtually non-existent in his home country, India, because peanuts are such a dietary staple and children are introduced to peanut products at a a very young age.
Basically, it's an epidemic we as a society created.
