They get an allergic reaction when someone else eats peanuts?

Bullshit.

Yes, it may sound crazy, but they can - even trace amounts airborne. It's a pretty serious allergy for those who have it, and the resulting anaphylaxis shock can even kill someone.

Yeah- this is one of those "the snowflake is right", since if it's done like this it CAN literally, actually kill someone- not the "if you don't give me my way I'll kill myself and it'll be all your fault" thing most of TiA is.

That article doesn't mention airborne exposure at all.

I understand peanut allergies can be severe. The allergic reaction comes from the sensitive individual ingesting peanuts, not their neighbors or friends.

It's just in their heads like most allergies. Only the pollen one is legit.
