It'd be like banning peanuts at the dome because someone might have an allergy. If you have an unfortunate allergy you're just going to have to deal with it. If society has to make an occasional change to suit them then fine, but to change culture based on one person seems rediculous.

Dude, it's not a comfort issue. It's a life or death issue. It's that serious.
This individual hasn't been to the cinema in 20+ years, never mind a hockey game. People with these extreme allergies stay away from risk areas. Hell, she says that she avoids malls if at all possible and department stores with cosmetics.
I'm not attacking you but this is a serious issue. They do deal with it. They avoid places like the Dome and cinemas.
They're not IMO holding society to ransom, just asking for the right to education and to work in an environment that for them is non life threatening. Sorta like people asking others not to smoke at work.
Asking people to refrain from peanuts and heavy perfumes isn't really culture changing IMO.
