For years, peanuts and tree nuts have been considered off-limits in school snacks and lunches as a key precaution to protect those with life-threatening allergies. However, as one Canadian school lifts that restriction, is the tide beginning to turn away from specific food bans?

Peanuts are the hand grenade of allergies - you don’t have to consume them to react if you are allergic

Everything else is relatively safe if you can keep from eating, or otherwise come into contact with it

That’s very interesting. I wonder if there’s biological reasons for that.
