By telling people that your kid has the PB allergy, you are primarily protecting your kid from the unintentional exposure to the allergen. ( I think someone else already used the example of a chocolate-coated candy). If the teacher or the moms who buy treats know there are kids allergic, they are likely to refrain from offering it to your child. When your kid is 7, that is important. That is why parents tell the school about the allergy. I hardly think that is irrational. I also believe I understand 33's point just fine. I still believe that faking a seizure hurts someone's feelings, which is a lot different from harming someone physically. If that is irrational, so be it.
