Asthma and allergies are on the increase and the immune system/too clean environment theory is being studied intensively. The peanut allergy is one of the most extreme allergies out there. I do have a co-worker who's son has that extreme allergy and has gone into anaphylactic shock from being in a room after peanuts have been in the room. I truly am thankful that my daughter's isn't this severe, but I had an ER doc ask me, after she had a reaction, if I make my son's peanut butter & jelly sandwiches in a different kitchen with different utensils than the ones I use to prepare my daughter's food. Hopefully research will help find something to help the kids who react that severely. I still think, as a parent, it's my problem, not the rest of the school's problem.
