Yeah, imagine the guilt. Just a tragedy in so many ways. Sucks all around.

I'd never be able to forgive myself. Man, I love my woman and I love peanut butter. I don't know what I would do. Wow, just a heart breaking story.

I cant believe that, how tragic. Is it just me or is this peanut allergy problem a sort of a new thing, just growing up I never heard of anyone having a peanut allergy and all these warnings. Or are we just more aware and prudent these days?
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

It is something that has become much more common. When I was a kid, like Dame, the idea of a peanut allergy was unheard of.
Now my kids, in their last school, had a kid with peanut allergy in their class. And now in their new school, again. So it's a big deal to make sure that if they have peanut butter when they're home for lunch, they're all cleaned up when they go back to school.
Someone explained it to me recently, although I promptly forgot the details. It's environmental.

I moved to Halifax from Winnipeg in 2001, and up until I moved here, I had never in my life heard of a gluten allergy. I still don't know what gluten is, but I'll be damned if 75% of the population in Halifax doesn't have an allergy to it.... same thing with the "No scents is good sense" thing... they don't let anyone wear cologne or perfume because too many people have "environmental" allergies... it doesn't affect me, but I had never heard of that either, prior to moving here...

Just by the way, the guy who explained this to me is a pharmacist from Halifax.
It may be related to the way peanuts are processed, but it's also related to diet, both of pregnant women and of young kids. That could very well explain why you see a lot of gluten allergy in Halifax vs. Winterpeg -- local diet.
