Anaphylaxis is a serious matter. My 7 year old is anaphylactic to egg and nuts and highly alergic to milk.We must carry an EPI-PEN at all times to inject him in the event of an attack.Then you have to hope the ambulance gets there within 15 minutes. We have to be very careful with everything we buy and when dining out must stress how important it is that it must be egg milk and nut free and avoid cross contamination.
Many people don't understand it can be a life or death situation, but i'm sure that if it where your child you would have a different view on bringing nuts to school.

My sons school does not have a ban but more of an awareness on how dangerous some foods can be to some children.
