If the allergy prevents them walking or causes them to move slowly, sure. Otherwise, no. -- nm - TWuG Jan 18, 12:19 2
- The argument I've seen is that family of the nut allergy suffer has to wipe down the seats to remove any possible peanut residue - ty97 Jan 18, 12:21 1
  - they should just seal the person in a vacuumed bag and then they won't have to worry about it -- nm - decline Jan 18, 12:25
