Kids sharing food at school

[mjc]

Attended school in the 50"s and 60's never met one student with an allergy. Heck little league baseball, boy scouts still never anyone with an allergy.

What changed?

one word ADDITIVES , all the junk in food now almost nothing is free from them.

Not to derail this thread, but wasn't it the "nut allergy" concerns that now forces us to eat those stale ass pretzels in planes as well?

There’s a pretty compelling argument that vaccines have caused it. I’m sure our food plays a big part as well.

Yes, I have seen some numbers, I didn't follow up. Me having kids in school is long gone. Me getting any more shots, except maybe tetanus is over as well.

Delta still has almonds, I usually bring some cashews in a baggie too.

I gather corn nuts are a good snack when flying. Are they even nuts?

Did yall not know about his allergy at that age? Is that how yall found out?

Kind of yes, He had a slight reaction to another situation and we honestly didn't know the severity. We got him tested after this incident and come to find out, it was pretty severe. he is 17 now and has made it to his senior year in high school with out incident, but is also super aware of what he eats. He is a weightlifter and is very health conscious (witch is weird, because me and my wife are not like that) My other 15 year old son had egg allergy's at a young age, but has kind of out grown them. It has been a learning experience for us, because me and the wife never had any allergies.
