First off, thanks for sharing your story. I have been browsing this thread over the last couple days, not exactly sure which side of the issue I stand on, but stories like yours bring up a number of excellent points.
Like the one I quoted above, which I take to be a one sentence summary of what you shared (I hope that's not seen as a disservice to your lengthy post!).
So I have a question for you, partly because I am kind of stuck in the middle on this one:
Would you support a ban on peanut butter products in middle school? High school? An even broader spectrum (universities, workplaces)? Does there come a point in time when children/teens need to take some responsibility in, as you put, self-regulating their allergies?
