Faking seizures is not at all equivalent to trying to kill you. We're not talking about kids teasing or bullying, this is about constricting your airway to the point that you cannot breathe within minutes - before medical help could arrive.
My sons have the peanut allergy and are both severely asthmatic. We have to tell the school about it. The teachers tell the kids about how serious this allergy is so they know it is nothing to joke about. The school recently asked me if I would support a school-wide ban on peanut butter. In other words, no kid could bring PB&J for lunch. I told them that I thought that was ridiculous. If my kid requires that much special attention he should be home-schooled. That being said, if someone knew my kid was allergic to PB and intentionally gave it to him, I would support charging the kid with assault.
