What's Happening Now

June 3, 2010 7:59 pm

There is a non-profit organization called the food allergy network their web site is foodallergy.org. This site will give you some insight into the peanut allergy issue. My son now ten years old has a very severe peanut allergy. Some of the things most kids take for granted are not available to him due to the allergy. He cannot go to a professional baseball game for one. We also have to plan our vacations the locations that peanut free airlines to. The common misconception is “just don’t eat peanuts!” It would be nice if it were that simple. The confined space and recycling of the air in a plane is a peanut allergy sufferers nightmare. When people eat peanuts or open up bags of preanuts some of the allergens are released into the air. Therefore the allergic person can be affected without physically eating the peanuts. The air becomes toxic to them. For my son this is a not just discomfort it could kill him. JJ
