Hello, I wonder if anyone can help? I don't know much about peanut allergy. My teenage son has come home from college quite upset as he had been blamed for causing a severe allergic reaction in a member of staff.
He had a milkshake at lunchtime (M&M peanut)off campus. He passed the woman in the corridor but didn't speak to her. Next thing he knew the whole class were being asked who had brought peanuts into class. He put his hand up and told the tutor about his milkshake. She told him, in front of everyone, that the allergy extended to airborne contamination and it was the peanut on his breath that had caused the reaction.
Is this possible?
Thanks for reading.
