Oh super. More entitled 'what about my NUTS' chat.
My 8yo is allergic to dairy, eggs, peanuts and treenuts. 'Proper' allergic, if she eats any of the above it's epipen time and off we trot to the hospital. Sucks to be her, right? To add insult to injury, my husband accepted a job overseas last year. One of the things we had to consider for this life changing decision would be whether our DD would cope with the flights back and forth to the UK. Obviously she can't eat anything provided by the airline so we take several meals aboard for her. (This is while we're busy setting up our own allergy free airline, thanks for that PP). To date, she hasn't had a reaction on the plane, she doesn't appear to be airborne anaphylactic thank goodness. But th nature of allergies is that you never ever know what the next reaction will look like. So she might be next time, hooray! No, I don't want milk and eggs banned too as they don't tend to be sitting in their own dust which gets everywhere when some idiot 3 g&t's in opens them and it goes everywhere.
But, you know, thanks for the understanding and consideration for your fellow people. Life for her is not as easy as someone with no allergies. And to say that she shouldn't travel and have her life restricted even further is just wonderful.
Using an epipen isn't fun, will probably result in a plane being diverted. What would you prefer? A few nuts or a stopover somewhere unexpected?
