Banning everyone else from eating peanuts is not the solution, like others have said, the kid with the allergy needs to be treated, and society needs to raise its children differently so that kids don't get allergies. I'm fairly certain that the thing they have new parents do these days to look out for allergies in newborns, is actually leading to a substantial INCREASE in allergies.
Back when I was a kid, I never even heard about peanut allergies. We, as a society, need to stop raising our kids to be wusses. I feel for the kids who have the allergies, but we cannot start canning everything that someone might be allergic to. Eventually, the rest of humanity will lose their immunity to these things, and in a few generations, humanity will die off because we don't have immunity to anything any more.
We seriously have to rethink the way we deal with allergies. banning of things is NOT the solution in the long term.
