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

I am more so arguing agaisnt this when people seem to be broadly throwing this around for all children with allergies
Saying parents waiting to introduce foods have caused more allergies is accurate. But once has to be careful when they say "the child got the allergy because of overprotective parents"
We introduced our son early, and will do the same for our daugter
That in no way guarantees they wont become allergic or have an instant reaction
I don't mean this to be rude. But there isn't a single thing you've said that has any value outside of what is generally understood and therefore left unsaid. And that's fairly common for you.
And this if after you said this:

The problem with peanuts is people THINK it is an airboerne allergy.
IT IS NOT
Ignorant masses listen to whatever. I can eat a peanut butter cookie next to your daughter and she will be fine
I think this is reflective of your ignorance.
People aren't worried about it being airborne. They are worried about cross contamination with it being on a kids hands, etc.

So apparently, it isnt exactly generally understood here

Science says that the earlier you expose them to as many foods as possible, the lower the risk of allergies developing.
This is a new approach. Less than 10 years ago, the thought was to prevent exposure to highly allergic foods until a certain age. The new literature is pointing in the other direction and pediatricians are advising differently.
Your hubris is quite impressive in comparison to your knowledge.

My son was about the same age when we introduced peanut butter. He would have an almost immediate skin reaction around his lips and chin. I was worried a little, but continued to give him peanut butter in small increments frequently on pediatrician’s recommendation. He’s 16 months and eats peanut butter everyday without any reactions. I truly believe that more peanut allergies exist because at the first sign of symptoms, parents stop feeding their infants anything with peanuts. So, the next time a child accidentally ingests peanuts years later, the body is saying “What the hell is this?! I’m going to release all these histamines and close off your throat!”
The only thing smart you said was that you followed your pediatrician's recommendation...which to be honest, I find a little bit off base given studies that show the 1st reaction is much smaller than the 2nd.
If your child was at risk of anaphalaxis and you had continued to expose him to the allergen, you might have killed him. Seriously.
I'm happy your child's allergy isn't as sensitive as some others.

The way some of y’all talk about innocent children is disgusting. I hope you never have to see your child laying in a hospital bed struggling to breathe like I did. That is an actual problem. Having to pack something other than a PB&J in your kid’s lunch is not an actual problem. But hey if that’s the biggest problem in your life, congrats.

We do carry a child epi pen at the house and had it with us during those months of first introducing it. We’re also 5 min from an ER. I knew the apparent risk and was prepared. But I didn’t want my child to be quarantined from peanut products for his life, and that was my point of my previous post. If my wife and I were scared after the initial reaction to the point of not giving him peanut butter again, I’m sure he would have a true allergic response the next contact with peanuts. And that is what the literature is pointing towards now. I also know of 5-6 children within the last 3 years with similar outcomes...skin reactions the first few times then no symptoms at all after repeated exposures. Granted, it’s a very small sample size, but just further reinforces my convictions.

You had zero ability to prevent your child from having a life long deadly peanut allergy. That's my point. What worked for you is one of two things:
* You've identified a procedure that has escaped allergists and scientists for a long time. Hopefully that is the case and we can stomp out these types of allergies at an early age. I can tell you that your actions were counter to the medical advice that is typically given to children with severe allergic reactions.
or
* You were fortunate that your situation wasn't the same as many others with more severe forms of allergies and it just worked out for you. And, under different circumstances, you might have killed your own child.

I stand corrected then.

It's obvious that a lot if people who post here have kids with nut allergies.
Never had allergies personally. I can and have used my immunity to poison ivy as a weapon before. (Now that was mean)
So I can see that being isolated from the fear of a reaction has jaded my view.
After thinking hard about it.
I recant my stance.
I think they should be kept separate, but I can see from a litigous view it's better to keep the schools nut free.
This shall be the line though.
Anything beyond nuts and we push back.
Plus after taking to the kids, they are more upset that the allergy kids have microwave access than they are the lack of nuts.

Girls. Baw.
At least they can eat nuts and aren't sickly like yours.

I’m sure they do eat nuts. Also mine eat peanut butter everyday so not sure what you mean by that

As far as sickly I’ve got 4 kids ranging from K to college. My 2 oldest have never missed a day of school since pre K, my 9 y/o missed 2 altogether with tonsils taken out,

I just think you and your kids need to calm down, that’s all.
