One of the most serious
allergies that is plaguing schools and daycares around the country
is the peanut allergy. A peanut is a legume like a pea or lentils.
A tree nut is a nut like a walnut, pecan, almond or cashew (a nut
that grows on trees). Some people are allergic to both, while others
are allergic to one or the other. This food allergy has become deadly
to children and the best way to stay in control of this is to be informed.
Make sure your child’s caregivers are well aware of this allergy.
It is safest to pack your child’s own lunch and make sure if the allergy
is severe, that no one in your child’s classroom brings in lunch such
as a peanut butter sandwich. There are many schools and daycares throughout
the nation that have banned peanut butter and foods that contain peanut
butter. One more fact about nuts is that when reading the ingredients
in a package, the description can be disguised with something sounding
safe-these ingredients are peanut based:
