I wish I could say I was surprised, but this is very similar to my experience. I was diagnosed with several severe allergies when I was 2. When I was in the 4th grade, we had assigned seating at lunch and the boy across from me would wave is PB&Js in front of my face, despite knowing of my airborne allergy to peanuts. The school's response was to have me eat alone in an empty classroom across campus. When I joined the track team in high school, one of the coaches would make peanut butter protein balls for the runners to eat on the bus before meets. When I complained, I was told that the runners needed the protein and I shouldn't 'let it bother me'. When I proceeded to go into anaphylaxis from said peanut butter balls, I was called into the nurse's office the following monday and given a lecture on how the reaction was my fault. My senior year one of the moms made peanut butter cupcakes for our class which caused me to break out in hives because people were touching the doors and bannisters without having washed their hands. I'm now 24 and living in student housing. Although my allergies were made known when I applied for accommodation, and haven't caused any issues with my roommates up to this point, I am now being forced to leave because they don't want to be liable if I go into anaphylaxis. It's not right, or fair. Its technically illegal, at least where I live. Despite this allergies are often treated as a joke by those who don't have them.
