Well, Guest 3:11pm what I've read has said that about 20% of children outgrow their nut allergies

Yes becca, a minority of children, which is what I said. The majority of children do not outgrow their allergy by the time they reach school age, as your quote above confirms. I don't understand your inability to grasp this fairly simple concept.

As an adult you can choose to remove yourself from whatever situation you want to. Five year old children have adults to make decisions which put their safety first. You don't see the merit in removing the biggest culprit of anaphylaxis from schools.

As someone not responsible for a child or decision making in schools your opinion thankfully carries no weight. Would you insist on your rights to munch through a bag of peanuts in the workplace because only one person suffers because of your actions? I doubt it.

Bunna I did not address you at all in my post.
