IMO, if someone were to die because someone brought peanuts to work when they knew the risks then they should be criminally prosecuted. To say that this issue is often misunderstood is quite correct, to say that it is overstated shows an enormous amount of ignorance. People can require hospitalization from the tiniest contact with peanuts. That's not an overstatement. | |

| May 13, 2014 at 4:40 | comment | added | aroth | In fairness, the danger of such allergies is often misunderstood and therefore overstated. The nature and severity of the reaction varies greatly between individuals (and mode of exposure), and serious/life-threatening reactions are in fact quite rare. Doubly so in cases of transient/second-hand exposure as described in the OP. I'd agree that the simplest solution for the OP is to not eat peanut-butter in the office; but an outright ban is an overreaction. | |
