    I’ve known people with severe food allergies, so I empathize with the caution needed in their everyday lives, but I’m pretty sure this woman went overboard. Which is a bit odd, considering she was 27 years old, which makes me suspect she’s dealt with this allergy for many years and should be used to having to deal with non-allergic people around her.

      There are a lot of tragic stories of people reacting to peanuts or other allergens and dying, in situations they thought were safe

      Anaphylaxis hits hard and fast - even with an immediate response, it’s often not enough to save the person afflicted

      “i’m pretty sure she went overboard” said by neither a peanut allergy sufferer, doctor or sicentist. the guy from lemmy said he’s pretty sure, folks, case closed

        Take it easy, man. Clearly they’re wrong, and I don’t know better either, would you like to contribute something that’ll inform us or just get mad on the internet?

        You don’t know anything about this person your replying to. Stop with that attitude.

        Ok Karen.

        In the real world, where the rest of us live, if she’s able to fly without any issues, she can handle people eating nuts around her.

        If her allergy was severe enough that just breathing peanut particulates would trigger a reaction, she’d be suffering from an allergic reaction the entire time she was on a plane, every time she was on a plane.

        This child overreacted like a typical Karen. And if she actually handled all the packages of nuts she bought, hate to break it to ya, but she would have had a reaction from the peanut oil that’s inherently found on bags of, you know, peanuts.
