Our reply to the reply on the banning of peanuts in schools
Hi Rachael,
Thankyou for your response.
Actually, my son does not have to consume dairy
products for a reaction to occur.
One drop from a drink onto his skin or a chair
or swing that he touches is enough. Hands that
have held a sausage roll, or a sandwich with
butter…… these are no less lethal than traces
of peanut butter on a slide, yet that is all we
ever hear about.
If you are anaphylactic, you are anaphylactic.
We always have trouble trying to convince parents
with peanut anaphylactic children that we have
exactly the same life-style concerns as themselves,
just because the allergen of concern is dairy.
It is definately an uphill battle for all
the other allergens.
Sincerely,
Melanie
