"nut allergies... are quite common" - looks like about 1%. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 13:23 2
- which would be an average of 1-2 people per flight. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 13:26 1
  - unless the plane was going to some sort of convention for peanut allergy sufferers. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 13:27
Is it possible to be so allergic to peantus that just being in the vicinity of peanuts is dangerous? -- nm - ty97 Jun 8, 13:22 12
- I've never met such an individual, but I"ve heard that it does happen. - musubi Jun 8, 13:23
- yes. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:23
- as far as I know, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 13:22
- I've heard of this, yes. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 13:22 8
  - I can't imagine having to live with that fear. - ty97 Jun 8, 13:27 6
    - epi-pen and benadryl but not something you'd want to rely on. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 13:28 5
      - My niece. I think we mentioned on ST that we turned her onto fake peanut butter and she cried when she got to eat it. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:32
      - Oh jeez. I just remembered one of the little boys at moose jr's daycare has a peanut allergy and they have to keep an epi-pen on hand, just in case. - musubi Jun 8, 13:31 1
        
        Hopefully you are not the one that buys treats for daycare, then. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:33
      - yes, I have a hard time imagining that it's anything like the movies, where it instantly fixes everything. nuh-uh. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 13:29 1
        
        they do work really fast if they're going to work. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 13:31
  - Especially in such a small, recirculated air place. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:23
Well, Franklin is Muslim ya know. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 8, 13:22
no way, Snoopy is an ace flier and could take over in an emergency - zork Jun 8, 13:21
Absolutely, I hate charlie brown; such an unPC name. - ceregon Jun 8, 13:21

- Sure, a few do. Last time I traveled for work I got peanuts one of the flights. - Don Homer Jun 8, 13:23 9

  - *Jealous*. They tried to give me pretzels. - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:24 7
    - I too am mystified as to why people would voluntarily ingest pretzels. - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 13:27 6
      - Yeah, that is about what I said (but much louder). - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:30
      - yeah, bread. Who eats that? -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 13:28 1
        
        With a vomit inducing coating. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 8, 13:31
      - not much of a golden harvest fan, are you? What about the chocolate-covered ones? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 13:27 2
        
        yogurt - oh yeah -- nm - Epiphany Jun 8, 13:32
        
        Well, you put enough chocolate on something, it gets more tolerable. But still, less than ideal. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 13:30
- I've seen them on Delta, as an option. I think Southwest may still offer them as a snack option. - ty97 Jun 8, 13:23
- not that I've seen. peanut-free, from what I recollect of my recent flights. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 13:22
fuck you. nm -- nm - Linus Jun 8, 13:20 1
- Took me a couple seconds, but I have to say that deserves a: *golf clap* (nm) - musubi Jun 8, 13:21
