>>>My oldest son almost died from having his throat close up after TOUCHING (not eating) a peanut butter sandwich in the cafeteria<<
>>Why did your son put his hands on another persons sandwich??
FYI, My son was handed the sandwich by the cafeteria worker....he realized what he had and immediately told her. Too late, hives were already starting. Funny stuff huh?
You didn't explain that in your original post. I'm not saying anything is funny. My god, exactly the opposite.
I can see the schools NOT serving peanut butter. Why was a cafeteria worker handing something directly to a child anyway, and not on a tray or a plate.
I'm not trying to be hateful. I really was just curious. Good gods, we deal with enough allergy crap in my own house that while I'm sympathetic, personal responsibility is still key.
Oh, and btw, we homeschool my allergic child and her twin. And when we eat out, we eat at "safe" places for she and I. That's life. I can either live it or hide from it.
