Re: [AFMUG] fun size Paydays
Maybe the kid would just die early and they'd write it up as "natural causes" because they didn't make the connection. Allegedly that's one driver for apparent increasing heart disease and some cancers. They probably are happening more since we're all fatter and less active, but also in the past they sometimes didn't really know what killed you and it was just "natural causes". Clearly not a murder or an accident. Dude just croaked. Must have been natural.

Re: [AFMUG] fun size Paydays
Something has to be going on to account for the seeming increase in both severity and quantity of peanut allergies. I am personally allergic to both peanuts and tree nuts. In my case it was apparently pretty obvious when my mother fed me my first and only peanut butter sandwich. She says that by the time she had put the peanut butter jar away in the kitchen and had returned to the dining room, not only had I got it all over my face but my eye had mostly swollen shut. I'm fortunate that my response is isn't as strong as others. I can tolerate it being in the room although I am definitely not a fan of strong nuts smell. If bite info something which has nuts in it I typically know right away as I have a very quick histamine reaction although it's not strong enough to cause any severe issues. If I eat something with a lower concentration sometimes I'll not notice it untill I've eaten a fair amount, in which case I find a prescription strength dose of benadryl will arrest any long term reaction. I'd prefer not to repeat the experience I had of a kindergarten school lunch exposure where they used peanut oil in the bun for a sloppy joe. Being in kindergarten they served me half a bun open face, and the minor amount of oil in that bun caused a head to toe rash the next day. As I'm sure is the case with others with allergies, I read a lot of labels and avoid foods which I don't know the safety of. For example I generally avoid the dessert table at conferences. It really isn't a big deal, it just means I have to be more cautious when eating. About the only place I find it really bothers me is when traveling internationally as I'm not familiar with a lot of the food and the language barrier causes problems for me when I'm trying to determine if there are any applicable allergens in my food.

My Mom made lunch for me too. I don't remember what she put in it. But we also
had a cheap school lunch program, so often I would get whatever was in the
school lunch because my Mom also worked outside the home, and sometimes making
lunch didn't make the schedule.
When I was home alone (or with my brother &/or sister) on weekends, I would

Re: [AFMUG] fun size Paydays
I was reading that the best way to build up a tolerance to a peanut allergy is to eat a very tiny amount daily and build up over time. They have to be eaten every day to maintain tolerance or you can go back to the beginning. In this way, if someone accidentally ingests something with nuts, the reaction is rather mild.

Re: [AFMUG] fun size Paydays
I don't know if it's worth fussing over the peanut allergies like we sometimes do. If the kid gets anaphylactic they better learn to read the package. If they're so allergic they can't be in the same room with a peanut then in the long run they're just screwed. My son has a shellfish allergy. My wife drilled it into his head: he has to read the labels, know what counts as a shellfish, check for the cross contamination warnings etc. He carries the Epi-pen at all times in a backpack.it's his own little Jr EDC bag now where he has his pocket knife and first aid kit. He's fine. If anything he's over-prepared.

[AFMUG] fun size Paydays
