food allergies

As the mother of a child who has an anaphylactic allergy to nuts, I have to say that it is VERY scary to send your child to school knowing that something they might eat could ACTUALLY kill them. I know many people whose allergic reactions are "limited" to rashes, vomiting, hives and the like. But for a person who could die because of someone else's food - I think it's really important to be sensitive to the concerns of the parents - and the child! And as many have already pointed out - some children are SO allergic they don't even have to ingest the nuts, just being in the same room with them can cause a fatal reaction. SO SCARY!!
