I am allergic to peanuts and am never far from an epi pen. My allergy is not as bad as some people's in that I have to ingest peanut in order to trigger anaphylaxis. That being said, dying is a real possibility if I get a peanut. Once, I got peanuts in a cocoanut macaroon and went through six epi pens on the way to the hospital where more epinepherin was administered. There are people with much more serious conditions in which physical contact can trigger the reaction. Seems to me that a little empathy is in order. Is it really that difficult to forego nuts for a few hours? The dog, cat or whatever is an entirely different issue. Just so you all know, I will not be boarding early but I will be boarding to SXM in March. Please hold the peanuts.
