Some schools ban sweets for parties as concerns with allergies grow
Wheat crackers, vegetables and fruit slices are replacing vanilla iced cupcakes, warm chocolate chip cookies and glazed doughnuts at holiday parties at local schools. To accommodate students with life-threatening food allergies and promote healthy …

Rio Rancho Schools pass food allergy guidelines
Schools are seeing more students with severe food allergies. While the Rio Rancho School District trains its staff on what to do when a student has a reaction, administrators say it's up to parents to lend them a hand. It could be any type of food that …

If my kid had a severe allergy I definitely wouldn’t send them to school
until they were old enough to be responsible for what they eat. Schools are
TERRIBLE about keeping food out of the hands of kids with allergies. This
is probably why there are so many peanut bans…because allergic kids would
end up with peanuts if they didn’t ban them.
If a nut can kill you, that’s the universe’s way of saying you don’t
deserve to live.
I carry an aerosol can with peanut oil everywhere I go. I spray it on
everything. I’ve done this for almost 10 years, all through high school.
It’s the funniest shit man, and the best part is, I’m doing the human race
a favour. Thank you, jesus, for blessing us with people with allergies for
the amusement of everyone else.
i think schools with peanut bans are dumb.
I live in Canada where every school has them banned, i don’t believe its
fare because such few people are allergic.
Im in my 3rd year of high school and i still get told by people that im an
ass for bringing it (Even though in high school its allowed) . I guess
what im saying is that people should not ridicule the people bringing it,
but the ones with the allergies should be more careful of their
surroundings.
I have come to suspect that the current unpopularity of breast feeding
infants may be a factor in the rising rates of allergies in the developed
world, particularly the US. Many factors with long term effects are being
found by medical and even evolutionary researchers. But little is
understood about many of the things in breast milk. The role it plays in
developing the immune system appears to be very important.
Not suggesting that is THE cause but that it may be an important factor.
God does not exist.
Scientist dont know why percents grew??? idk, maybe cause theres alot more
people idk….
I have a severe allergy to tree nuts, not peanuts. And I think that getting
into the habit of reading labels really helps. I automatically read
everything. Plus it’s kind of like a sixth sense.
PB and J was my favorite sandwhich when I was younger, then my younger
sister comes along and turns out having a peanut allergy so bad a tiny
amount could kill her, that selfish bitch, taking away my peanut butter.
You are not allergic to the nut itself, you are allergic to the spraying
that the farmers spray over the nuts to keep mold, insects away.
I think part of it has to do with not breastfeeding as much, as well. One
of my cousins had horrible allergies, and the doctor told her to breastfeed
her daughter for as long as reasonably possible. So far, the little girl is
3 and doesn’t have any food allergies.
yesterday i’ve ate 400 grams of peanuts. don’t worry allergic guyz, i’ve
got your back!
Pretty much all my mom ate when she was pregnant with me was peanut butter
and I am severely severely allergic to tree nuts, peanuts, a bunch of other
stuff and I have asthma so that study is shit
My guess: pesticides/herbicides/hormones/antibiotics/GMOs are collectively
fucking up our digestive systems.
+Santos Montanez the last half has some interesting info for you.
I feel sick after drinking milk :(
i can’t live without peanut butter
Can it be that with the advance of medicine people with the peanut allergy
survive more and live longer and therefore produce more offspring?
Like all things, it is God’s fault.
Hmm…my mom ate lots of peanuts while she was pregnant with my sister but
my sister is allergic to peanuts. Strange.
I am addicted to them. Is there a cure for that?!?
I wouldn’t advice people wearing braces to eat peanut butter.
I wonder if anyone has thought that the rise of people allergic to things
like this might simply be due to more people who are allergic passing on
genes. With improvements in medical tech and diagnosis people are
identified early on and survive a bad/potentially fatal reaction. Also
pediatric doctors recommend slowly introducing babies to new foods as it
will help identify what food causes an reaction. This comes after many
cases of unidentified food reactions as seen in ERs around the nation. With
all these people surviving what used to be a deadly reaction a hundred
years ago, these people are passing on genes to new generations.
It gets on my nerves when people say “I’m allergic to milk I drank milk
today but I don’t care if I get sick” when in reality they just have
lactose intolerance, which is NOT the same thing as a milk allergy, and
they don’t realize that there are people out there who actually have true
severe milk allergies
You know what would be an interesting science topic? Why Americans (or
North Americans) are more prone to food allergies than other countries.
Things like gluten allergies which don’t seem to exist outside of the US.
Allergies to lactose, peanuts, etc., seem to be less of a concern in other
countries.
It would also be interesting to see if these allergies are manifested in
places outside of the US when introduced to processed foods that are so
prevalent in the US.
Please add wheat to this study!
Apparently you did not read my post completely, &/or didn’t read the
reference(s) I provided. The EHC-Dallas has been treating MCS patients
since 1975 & was founded by an MD, a thoracic surgeon to be exact, & has
had many MDs, DOs & other registered & licensed medical professionals among
their support staff in their treatment of tens of thousands of allergy/MCS
patients, myself included, since 1981. I was referred by a traditional
allergy dr., an MD, who was treating me w/antigens preserved with
the “cures” are still in the clinical trial stage. Many practitioners
promising “cures” are not M.D.s and are providing treatments with no proven
benefit!
I don’t see a date of which century this was published but it is not true
that food allergies cannot be treated, managed and often cured. The only
sensitivities that cannot be cured and must be avoided are exposures to
toxic chemicals [often contained in and/or on foods and the person is …
cont.: chemicals. I was not progressing after two YEARS of treatments
there, not because I wasn’t validly sensitive to the items tested, but was
getting progressively sicker after every injection because of the chemical
preservatives that MD allergist used. That allergist finally listened to me
& referred me to the EHC-Dallas where I was correctly diagnosed as having
traditional allergies to foods, grasses, weeds, molds, trees, etc. but was
even more reactive to specific chemicals as shown
cont.: actually reacting to the chemical rather than the food itself. If
someone can tolerate the certified organic version of the single-ingredient
food but reacts badly to commercially grown/mainstream [non-organic] item
then it’s a good sign the food is not the issue but the chemical.
References from EHC-Dallas.
cont: in DOUBLE BLIND TESTING. There are effective antigen therapies for
the mainstream allergy incitants [foods, pollens etc] but there is no
‘getting used to’ chemicals; there are no antigens to desensitize to toxic
chemicals, only try to avoid exposure, & use the recommended detox
protocols to purge the exposures & lessen the damage chemicals do; facts;
based on decades of experience & documentation. Contact C.I.I.N. or read
their “Our Toxic Times” for more documented evidence of the above.
Para entender um pouco sobre alergia!
Well done. Combines interesting visual with clear explanations.
thank you NIAID now i study it
