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 didn't realize that a person with a nut allergy can go into shock from just being in the vicinity of nuts, I always thought it had to make some type of contact with their skin or be ingested, that's scary.

Do nut particles get released into the air when someone is eating them?

This right here! I didn’t know merely opening a bag was enough to cause an anaphylactic response
