Ron Blair, of the Division of State Facilities, writes in the letter that someone has been carpeting the Capitol lawn with peanuts. He says the indiscriminate nut-tossing might pose a risk because thousands of school children tour the building each year and some might have peanut allergies.

While that is funny and all, but peanut allergies are no joke.

I actually had a scare today when one of my students had to be given medication because the kid across the table from him was eating PB&J. Not fun when you are on a field trip in Richmond.

yeah it seems like it was just in the last ten or so years that all the kids started becoming allergic to peanuts. my nephew is allergic to both peanuts and soy, which sucks, because you know what food places use as a substitute for peanut oil? Soy

Realist has mentioned he's allergic to wheat. Everything has wheat in it. That must be horrible. You have to eat all of that tasteless gluten-free stuff.
I think peanut allergies can have something to do with being exposed to peanuts at too early of an age. So don't feed your baby peanut butter. Although I'm sure there's more causes.

Well I recently developed lactose intolerance within the past 5 or so years. I can't drink milk right out of the cartoon, but I can eat ice cream and cheese with no problem at all.
