FYI his reactions was likely psychosomatic, because people cannot go into shock by what you described.
I know a guy who got himself hospitalized, because he kissed his girlfriend - who had a Snickers before. Whenever there was a risk of peanuts in the room, he warned everyone, that if he were to get red in the face, an ambulance was to be called immediately.
This works if your an adult. At a younger age, it is quasi-impossible to prevent children from ingesting poisons. By reducing the amount of poison in the environment, chances are higher that they will reach maturity. Home-schooling is not always a practicable solution.
Not to mention, that PB&J isn't healthy even for most of the non-allergic children.
But this is such a classically American response, that it is quite entertaining to follow. One should never give up luxury, even if another's life is at risk. Institutionalized egoism still going strong.
Problem with this is, the peanut protein that people are allergic to is soo bad, it takes just fractions of a peanut to cause serious issue.

Why not?
Some peanut stuck between the teeth, which he gets in contact with, and voila.
Enzymes in saliva aren't magical, and a good kissing obviously has a risk of transmitting some detritus caught between teeth etc.
I'm not sure how someone can have an anaphylactic shock from psychosomatic factors, if he isn't even aware of them.
So many people have bought into this myth. The reactions many people claim to have around peanuts are NOT allergic reactions, but psychosomatic reactions brought on by histeria. Studies have proven this to be true.
So the people I've treated that have had reactions were figments of my imagination?

Either they were lying or you are. You cannot point me to any study to claim what you say is true, but I can identify many which show you are wrong.
What you have as anecdotal evidence, what I have scientific studies.
I have been confused by your multiple ambiguous claims. Are you saying that peanut allergy is fictional, or that anaphylaxis from inhaling volatile peanut products is fictional? Or that you're completely batshit crazy?

Its for liability purpose only. Peanut allergy in its worst state and yes theres different levels of allergic reation. That if a kid touches another kid that eat peanuts of anykind say even before school he could have a allergic reaction. So in that case your all wrong. It doesnt matter. If my child was allergic to peanuts I would teach her to deal with it. I would make sure the school new and had the proper medical supplies if a reation occured. Thats the parents responcablity not the rest of the kids or the rest of the parents but mine. Thats how it should work. Take responsabilty for yourself and your kid dont ask the world to do it for you.
1. Peanut allergies are REAL
2. Some people with these allergies DO go into shock when they INGEST these peanuts.
3. No one goes into anaphylaxsis from a touch of peanuts or inhaling peanuts.
4. Many people who claim to have peanut allergies do not.
5. Many of the reactions people claim to have are infact psychosomatic.
All of these things are proven by multiple studies.
The biggest danger for people with actual peanut allergies is some foods are cooked with peanuts, or peanut oil and they are unaware of it. Not that people next to them are eating peanuts.
What is batshit crazy are claims people like you make without any scientific evidence.
As the article stated there are some autisic kids who will ONLY eat PB&J for lunch, so what about them?
And just so I understand this correctly, does even being near peanuts trigger the allergic reaction? It's not just a matter or them not being able to eat it, correct?
Wah. Honestly fucking wah. If your kid dies because of some shitty mutation, sorry try again. Honestly it sucks, but what the fuck are we supposed to do? Get rid of peanuts? Fuck that and fuck those assholes who force this kind of shit on us. This is more reasoning why we should NOT have socialized forced education and MORE school choice.
The autistic kids will be cranky, but they won't die. Peanut allergies can be incredibly severe that is the main problem. Any direct contact with the protein contained in peanuts can have a severe reaction, but coming in contact w/ the scent is unlikely to trigger a reaction.

That actually is a myth, direct contact does not cause a severe reaction, rash yes, but a severe reaction, NO. Severe reactions requires ingestion.
Thanks for the correction, I'll have to read up a little bit more.
