Dangers

Just found this on CNN.

SAGUENAY, Quebec (AP) -- A 15-year-old girl with a peanut allergy died after kissing her boyfriend, who had just eaten a peanut butter snack, hospital officials said Monday.

Christina Desforges died in a Quebec hospital Wednesday after doctors were unable to treat her allergic reaction to the kiss the previous weekend.

How bad must the boyfriend feel?

You know for a long time I used to think the "allergy to peanuts" was either very rare or maybe a joke ... but it's definitely not! I've heard so many stories of terrible reactions to peanuts.

IWM, you're right, TERRIBLE.

When did we humans turn so frail?

It is strange. I was a kid of the 70s & 80s & nobody was allergic to peanuts then. Since you plucked a Canuck story from CNN, thought I'd give an update to how far we have to go now:

Schools in Ontario are now required to prepare safety plans for students with fatal allergies as part of Sabrina's Law, named after a Pembroke teen who died of severe allergic shock in her high school.

Used to have a girlfriend who was so allergic to cheese that I couldn't kiss her after eating it...fortunately, this was a known thing, and I never actually tried it to see if it was real. Neither of us are quite that stupid.

Steph, it's possible that the reason nobody in your school was allergic to peanuts is that by the time that people were old enough to go to school, all the people with severe peanut allergies had been killed off by well-meaning moms making their lunches.
