My 2nd cousin has an extreme allergy to peanuts. He ended up in the emergency room from kissing his girlfriend after she ate a reeses peanut butter cup. IIRC, it was quite awhile between when she ate it and then kissed him. Scary stuff.

My kids elementary school discourages peanut butter in packed lunches, and if the kids do bring peanut butter they have to sit at a special table. Was it always this bad? I don't recall anything like this when I was a kid. Is it just more reported now, or is this kind of thing getting worse and/or more common?

I wonder about that myself. I know I never heard of any such thing until I was out of school.
Me either. Of course, I went to a hideously overcrowded Catholic elementary scholl at the HEIGHT of the baby boom. Some second grader towards the back of the room writhing in agony gasping for air and then collapsing onto the floor dead would have hardly been noticed . . . and I suspect the authorities would have welcomed the extra room.

 
In my son's school, they eat in the classroom, so the Peanut thing is done on a class by class basis.

Last year a note came home asking parents to identify any peanut related items in our kids lunches.

This year, the person with the allergy is in a different class, so we don't have that to worry about this year... at least as far as the school is concerned.

The only thing I remember being a big issue to everyone when I was in school was lice.

At least they had their clothes on when this happen other wise it would scar him for life.
Yeah because the death of his girlfriend won't scar him for life if she was clothed. 😕 I'd like half of what you're smoking, please, but only half as the full amount seems to do bad things. 😕

Why? Because we aren't crying over the death of some random person? Death happens everyday in the world. If I shed a tear for everytime someone died, or even felt an ounce of remorse or sorrow, I would never stop crying and be forever depressed.
 
I couldn't live without peanut booter. Hell ,I'd rather die than not live with the tasty cream.

<------eating penus booter out of teh jar with finger as he types.
 
honestly how the hell did she survive this long?
Not to be morbid, but with an alergy that crazy, I find it odd she lived to be 15.

That's horrible, but not entirely surprising. Peanut allergies are especially severe. Heart attacks are not uncommon.

No one expects anyone to feel bad for the thousands who die everyday, but to expect a mature person not to point and laugh at someone dying is quite reasonable.

I want to know how many of the Jerboy-esque asswipes in this thread would have the balls to go up to the girl's parents and say the same things and then laugh at in their faces. What a bunch of sad, pitiful excuses for humans :thumbsdown:
