During the begining of the school years, I've received a letter home from the school about some students are allergy to peanut butter and if your child is eating lunch in the cafeteria with hundreds of other students may be eating their peanut butter sandwiches, crackers, all those hidden peanuts in their foods etc and encourage parents to tell their children not to share their lunch food with others or if bringing a snack to school to be sure there's no students in the classroom that may be allergy to peanut butter...but since peanut butter is the most life threatening food allergies, which some children do die from it, the problem I'm having with this letter is how come the schools aren't more concern if a student allergy suddenly reversed itself like if the students did not wash their hands or use hand sanitizers after lunch by touching another students or playing on the play ground swings sets, sport equipements or toys etc, they may reacts so strongly to contact the allergy of peanut butter....It's hard for us parents to realise how far the allergeries can spread to another child, I feel that the schools are not informing the parents enough resources that are available out there and having the aides or teachers in the cafeteria to remind students to washed their hands and faces before allowing them to play etc....None of my children are allergy to peanut butter, but my main concern are for the other children who may be allergy to peanut butter....Since it does take a villiage to raise a child :dunno:

What's your thoughts/opinion on this?....
 
Yeah some of them are alllgeric to peanut butter or peanuts. I wasnt sure where or cant remember I might wrong :dunno: that in somewhere in school are not allow bring peanut butter or peanut in school cause of allgeric to peanut butter or peanuts. I cant remember or maybe I am wrong.

I remember somewhere in here AD or others that little boy in daycare that got swollen his eyes not sure then that daycare wont allow that little boy to that daycare so father or mother tried to put different school.


I know it is not easy being allgeric to peanut butter or peanuts.
 
My son is allergic to peanuts. he cant have any of the products. so whenever the parents bring candies and stuffs.. cant have any peanuts but one that is safe for my son to eat.

i never thought of that.. then they better clean good and wash hands .. i know they said the hand product work well but 100% ?? who knows.. thats scary thought now.. i better talk to TJ's father about this and talk to school about this. Thanks for bringing this up to my attention. sigh...
 
As same my little son and daughter's school posted the announcement "Do not allowed peanut in the school" My daughter was kind upset and decide to stay outside and eating it... then wash her hands and face too... before entering into the school. My little son's school not allowed 110% bring peanut... He doesn't mind at all and can wait til gets back home and have snack peanut butter crackers or sandwich wha..ever...

Last year, Some other school have allowed peanut in the school. This year, My children are transfered and new location for school and says not allowed peanut.. Oh well... Not even bother at all.. as long my kids are respect to school's policy!
 
Really? I didn't know some schools won't allow children to bring in peanuts/peanut butter to school, I personally think its a good idea for one because I feel that the schools aren’t prepared to deal with life threatening allgeries, since I've read that some children had died from peanut allergy and since most schools already control the amounts of drugs onto school property meaning children were not allow to bring any medications to school unless approved otherwise which means they would need a permission form from the doctor to allow the child to take them at school, but usually it's kept in the clinic....
 
The strange thing is... this is becoming more common among the children. When I was a kid, I don't recall knowing anyone being allergic to peanuts. I just find it odd that suddenly we're seeing this problem being quite common.
 
It s scare! My girl s school allow bring peanut.
 
make me wonder if they put something in peanuts that we didnt know about? like chemicals or something?? hmm..
 
Be always check w/box label and to see if there have peanut or not...
Before you buy it...
I usually check w/box and to see if there no peanut perfect and can buy it..
But problem is... Cake.. there have itself inside the peanut already which it's peanut oil on it... So Have to check w/Bakery and to see there have provide cake or buns prefer without peanut oil attach it..
Importance for you check your store local and to see there have provide no peanut on some of brand boxes.

Good Luck!

Really, who knows? Maybe it's the mother's diet during the pregnancy or the baby's diet during the first 5 years.

I'll like to know why too.

I do agree that I find it quite odd all the sudden this is happening, back in the old days I hardly heard such a thing about children being allergy to peanuts until more cases had increased...


hmmm...
 
Oh I also noticed at some icecream shops they do have signs posted near by that say some of the food products may have peanuts in them, also saw some at the rib cook-offs too....It seem the schools wasn't the only one ..
 
Angel... i know one of my friend s daughter was allergic to nuts... she ate couple nuts ended up in hospital .. she almost died... could not breathe...
 
my son is allergy to it, got his face swell up and rash everywhere. But I'm allergy pure peanuts, if its mix on anything like cake, or ice cream, its fine.
 
some children are allergic to other food product as well they not born allergic they developed the allergy

i developed allergy to strawberries 4 years ago and still are allergic to them i had allergic attack last oct at my great aunt and my great uncle 60th wedding anniversary party that they served strawberry punch which i accidently took not know that it was strawberry punch only thought it was a fruit punch my eyes start to swell and my tougue swell as well that i wouldn't taste any food they taste blah to me my mother saw my face and soon as eyes start to itch i ran to the drug store to get over counter allergy pill and it start to go down fast in one day

so i had to be VERY careful not to take any more of strawberries

it was scary part to have bad allergy
 
At the school where I work, we do post a notice on the wall to let them know that there may be a peanuts in the food.

My thoughts exactly! Are there are more cases of penut butter allergies or is the information more accessible than 20 years ago?

My baby's doctor said do not feed him any penuts or penut butter until he is at least 5 years old due to the immune system being stronger. My daughter's doctor 9 years ago never said anything about this issue so I guess it is new precaution.
