Peanuts aren't nuts so from what I'm reading most nut spreads are just fine. -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 06:41 10
- Just called to clarify - it's a nut-free school. No nuts at all. Sunbutter is okay. - kelly Jul 13, 06:52 9
  - Then I'd say you can't send almond butter or the like. That sucks but I understand the caution. -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 07:03 1
    - Nutella should be OK though -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 07:05
  - "nut-free" school. I can't even with that. -- nm - MDH Jul 13, 06:56 6
    - it is an all girls school. -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 07:00
    - If the other option is kids potentially dying, I can see why they would make that decision. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 06:58 4
      - younger I agree, once they hit grades 6+ they should be able to handle it (their needle, staying away from it etc). -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 07:01 3
        
        From what I've read, for some they're so sensitive to it that the peanut/nut dust in the air is enough to cause an allergic reaction. - Krusty Jul 13, 07:05 2
        
        *shrug* they have to get used to it sometime cause not every place they ever go with be nut free -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 07:06 1
        
        (fwiw I have a nephew with severe nut allergy; very careful growing up, now just deals with it) -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 07:10
