Given the number of kids in my daughter’s school that are afflicted, if I look back to my school days we had one kid in our entire grade (maybe 200 kids) who was allergic to ragweed and had to be careful during gym in the Spring if we played outside.
I'm not downplaying it at all, just wondering how it became so pervasive that a football game would need to be adjusted to accommodate.
The most commonly accepted theory is that homes are so clean and relatively germ-free these days,the body’s immune system looks for something else to view as an enemy and attack, like peanut proteins.
Part of the reason why I asked is not knowing the severity of the situation. Is sitting behind someone on an airplane the same as sitting behind someone in a football stadium? Shells tossed on the ground is a different matter from an airplane to a stadium, that was an interesting variable to the discussion.
