It does seem to be waaaay bigger now adays and tho it can be frustrating for the kids/parents who aren’t dealing with peanut allergies, I support peanut free schools because these kids need to be safe. Plus most allergies are really severe and cause anxiety for the kids who have them.

I have severe allergies. Life threatening. When I was a kid, my school didn’t care. They never talked to me, or assessed the severity, or did any type of accommodations.
I think part of the current problem is schools recognizing the problem more than used to, and overreacting in fear of being sued. Our society right now seems to feel entitled and threatens legal action for any little thing.
I’m in my late 30s, and I was not the only kid in school that had severe allergies. One student, who was 2 grades younger than me, and he carried 2 EpiPens. But it just wasn’t a thing that was talked about.

Aww nice

I agree this has grew tremendously.
