I'm not trying to make light of the situation, but this is an example of what you are saying is possible.
Is it? With which kids? How many? Any?

It is crazy and hard to imagin but that what these parents live with every day..You're absurd situation is not that absurd. More then likley peanut butter from home is gonna smeared on the bus seat, and thats how the allergy kid will come in contact with it. If no peanuts are served in school, that significally reduces the chances of contact. The majority of reactions are a result of indirect injestion of peanut protien..
You teach your child to not share lunches...what foods have hidden nuts.. You teach your child to wash thier hands, and not put things in thier mouth. That's all you can control.
How many kids, I'd be willing to say 1 per grade level per average school(just my own numbers) have peanut allergies, and likely half of thoes would be deathly severe.
