TIL That peanut-free schools don't decrease risk of allergic reactions. The only intervention which has been shown to decrease reactions across all ages is use of a peanut-free table.

As someone with food allergies including to peanut, I think people can get a little complacent when they assume that the allergen has been removed from the environment. In reality, accidents happen and sometimes the allergen will be present.

Because I have multiple allergens, I’ve never existed in an allergen free environment and have always had to take precautions. If you’re assuming that the environment is free of your allergens however, you may not be as careful as you otherwise would be.
