Peanut Bans in Schools

I thought about posting something about this after one of my friends complained that her kids' elementary school has a peanut ban in effect. But it didn't seem that interesting, so I let it go.

Then, I saw this story on Yahoo! and thought about it again.

Is it possible that a student can be affected by a whiff of peanut butter? I mean, doesn't someone actually have to ingest something containing peanuts in order to have issues related to the allergy?

I seem to remember an incident where a kid kissed his girlfriend/her boyfriend (I don't remember which one had the allergy) and got ill because the boyfriend/girlfriend had peanut-breath, so I guess I can see why it might be a good idea. But still, to ban peanut products entirely from the school seems a bit... excessive.

What do you think, GCers? Is the peanut-ban overkill, or is it reasonable?
