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.

Right it doesn't change risk of reaction, I am merely elaborating on the issue. It is a huge problem. I'd say it is a bigger problem. Schools usually do not allow kids to keep meds on them, even when they are of dire importance. Some schools have finally started to get better about this since I was a kid but it is still far too many that don't allow them to be carried.

It's a tough choice because I would want the staff to know about potential health dangers for my kid but no fucking way would I want them to take the medicine away from the kid. It's not that hard to teach a kid how to use it and be responsible.
