My child is 2 years old and he is severely allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, egg and milk. My son has reacted to airborne particles from someone opening a bag of nuts near him. My husband and I used to be world traveler’s and dreamed of traveling with our son. It is heart-breaking to think that our child will not get to experience the world, or if he does it may cost him his life. What about when he gets older and his job requires him to fly across the country in a weekend? Should he have to risk his life so he can work in his possible future dream job? This is a disability, no question about it. We are talking about being in the air with peanut particles being circulated through the cabin and possible no place to land for hours. An Epi-Pen only last 15 minutes. Peanut allergy is unpredictable. The first reaction could be mild and the second could cause your blood pressure to drop like a rocket, your throat to close up and your heart to stop beating. Yes, we carry Epi-pens everywhere we go, but even 10 wouldn’t be enough on an airplane. I know that airplane or not you could be somewhere where peanuts are opened. The point is, you can’t leave an airplane and get away from the peanut dust. You can leave other areas and get away from it. Also, we do not chose to be anywhere we know there will be a lot of people eating peanuts, like ball games or restaurants that have them on the floor of their establishments. It’s not going to cost you your job if you choose not to go to a ball game or certain restaurant. It will if you keep refusing to travel and the job requires that. I don’t know anyone who will DIE if they don’t have peanuts/peanut dust, but I know plenty of people who would DIE if they do have peanuts or breathe in peanut dust. I support a ban on all peanuts and peanut products on airplanes and an announcement to all passengers asking them to refrain from eating peanut products during the flight.
