Peanuts are a member of the pea family. They grow underground. Nuts grow on trees. However, some people have severe allergic reactions to one, the other or both. If the reaction is severe, the airway will swell and choke the person fairly quickly. Many students with allergies of that nature and that are that severe carry epipens (immediate injection into the muscles of the thigh). I have met people who react if someone who's recently eaten peanuts even breathes on them.

Villan, I do understand the nture of children with autism. I am sorry that happened to your child. I will message you separately with an idea.
