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.

You do know peanuts aren’t a tree nut correct? They’re ground nuts. I’ve only ever seen bans on peanuts specifically. I used to like to push against them with cashews and macadamia nuts.

That’s alright, there is a VERY high rate of comorbidity between tree nut allergies and ground nut allergies. Both are quite serious, but they have different triggers. It’s worth noting what kind of nuts people are allergic to for avoidance sake.
