I didn't mean he should just die, obviously. I meant that he will have to learn how to get through life because school is one thing, but what about every other place he might go in his lifetime? Simply walking down the street could be a potential hazard. I cannot even imagine what it would be like to have an allergy like that, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I mean to have to be so overly conscious of your surroundings ALL the time... and to have the strong possibility of being exposed to the allergen without even knowing it until you're knocking on death's door... that must be horrible! But if I did have it, I would have to learn to adapt because I wouldn't have any other choice.
When I read the article, my assumption was that this is a young child. If he is, then he probably can't avoid nut products effectively because he wouldn't know or understand about trace ingredients and things like that. As he gets older, he will learn how to deal with his allergy.
