I can't speak for other parents, but I know for my son - there will be NO circus's, there will be NO baseball games, there will be nothing like that when at 21 months old he is already responding with anaphylactic sypmtoms to tree nuts. It is a terribly scary thing to have to think that there are people out there who take a nut allergy lightly. Some kids have a low level allergy, some have a moderate allergy, but some - yes, they could truly die from coming in contact with the residue from a peanut, JUST the residue. I guess some people's reaction to this is "well, then keep him home. And that is so sad. What kind of a life is that? Where my son is having anaphylactic reactions to a nut, yes - call my paranoid - but I will do whatever I can to protect him, while trying to make his life as normal as possible.
