It'd be interesting to know how many Canadians have been told that contact with, say, peanut butter on a lunch table, could be fatal for their child. And I mean told by the pediatrician or allergist outright, and not told by a website, a book, a healer or some quack.

I can do you one better, as you may recall I mentioned earlier in this thread my daughters best friend is allergic to peanuts. When her dad took her to the Stamps she had a reaction from someone eating peanuts two rows in front of them. They later found out that even the skin around the peanut can cause a reaction that will close off her throat and that is most likely what happened, since she never touched any of the peanuts the skin and\or peanut dust was carried up by the wind to them. (The peanut dust has never been confirmed it is just theory, but the skin has been confirmed by their doctor.)
Now when he goes to games he goes with his friends and when he gets home he makes sure to change his clothes before he comes into contact with her.
So if the skin of a peanut can cause this imagine what concentrated peanuts in PB form can do.
