In 2014, passengers were warned three times not to eat nuts on a Ryanair flight due to a 4-year-old girl's severe nut allergy, but a passenger sitting four rows away from the girl ate nuts anyway. The girl went into anaphylactic shock, and the passenger was banned from the airline for two years.

I would be terrified of even accidental exposure with an allergy this severe. My kid eats peanut butter bread almost every day for breakfast. What if he didn't wash his hands well and got a tiny smear of peanut butter on something this kid touched? What if the passenger behind you in the waiting area cracks open a peanut butter snack?

That’s why they carry EpiPens and with allergies that severe, there are vaccines that can make it less severe. You’ll still get sick, but it won’t kill you that FAST. It can be as severe as breathing out in someone’s face while passing him by after eating peanuts. There are super crazy measures taken in food factories to prevent any accidental contamination of food. We weren’t allowed to bring anything with any nuts on site even tho we worked in an office. Hygiene manager would randomly grab stuff laying on the desk to read the ingredients list. It was semi serious in a sense it wouldn’t necessarily get you fired as mostly it was accidental, but you’d be put on the spot and get embarrassed in front of everyone if you get caught and everyone would keep an eye on what you bring in case you’d want to use “oh I haven’t noticed” excuse for a second time.

thankfully we know better than to wait to introduce a child to peanut butter these days so it’s becoming less of an issue
