Facts about nut allergies?

Modern slang use of the word "nut" could make for some really messed up EpiPen jokes but I'm just gonna avoid anything about proteins coming out of someone peanuts and legume all wonder.

I just saw your rant about growing up with nut allergies, and can I say I feel you so much! My school actually put me in a locked cage for 2 years every lunch time where other kids would visit me like a zoo animal and throw peanuts at me through the bars while the teachers would take my own food my mother packed for me and only allow me a piece of white bread. I had a red hat a was forced to wear outside and inside the classrooms "for easy identification" if I was having an anaphylactic attack and so many kids and Parents!!! Would treat it like a infection they could catch. And the worst part is the school lost my $170aud epipen 2 years in a row and couldnt even tell me when it went missing, just that it had been for months by the time I inquired and i still had to fight tooth and nail to be allowed to keep my own epipen I paid for on my person because I could have used it as a weapon??????!?!?

they put you in a

WHAT?

i banish you to the anti-nut cage. get back demon

But speaking of the "what if the allergic-child uses their life-saving medicine as a WEAPON?" thing, that was also an argument I ran into all the time from school administrators and parents and teachers... To be fair though, I actually did get in trouble once for making a kid cry having simulated an epi pen injection on her... It was 1st grade and a girl in my class Alison (shout out Alison, you were nice) asked me what it felt like and if it hurt and I was like "YEAH MAN, wanna see how bad?" and she was like "bet" and so I grabbed a marker to demonstrate a perfect injection delivery into her outer thigh

I was... forceful. She burst into tears (I had definitely hurt her by jabbing her hard with a marker and holding it there for ten seconds) and then I of course also panicked and burst into even more hysterical tears and all the teachers could get out of either of our incoherent blubbering was that the epi pen is designed to go through denim!!!! I was just trying to give her a faithful re-enactment!! I was actually a part of the problem, is my point

As a vegan with a nut allergy, every time I see a recipe that calls for cashews to make something creamy, a little more of me dies inside

I swear to god do not bring food with nuts to camp. It’s bad enough that parents don’t listen and send food even though we specifically ask them not to. When counselors bring nuts it can trigger so many allergies and cause so much danger. Eat nuts on your time off camp, not on camp, thanks - A counselor who has had to give kids (including her sister) an epipen for nut allergies at camp

Allergy friendly study snacks?

So I used to always bring trail mix or even just some assortment of nuts with me to school for a good study snack, but since I've been diagnosed with like, all of the allergies, especially nuts, I'm kind of at a loss. Does anyone have any suggestions of healthy/quick/easy snacks that don't contain nuts?

I might just go back to my days of carting a full box of cereal around with me tbh

Inktober Day Eight - Pecan

Prompt – Pecan Characters – Stan/Butters Word Count – 498

Notes – Butters has nuts allergies, okay, it’s canon and I’m rolling with it

  “I can’t eat those,” says Butters, giving the cookies a strange look. He pushes the plate back towards the other end of the coffee table, near Stan’s glass of milk.   They’re just a couple of store-bought cookies, but Stan doesn’t think there’s anything particular wrong with them. He pokes at one with his finger. “Are they stale? I, uh, don’t think they’re that old.”   Butters snorts, rolls his eyes. He pulls his sock-clad feet up onto the couch. “Well, I wouldn’t know if they’re stale or not, ‘cause I can’t taste them. Those have nuts in them.”   “Yeah. Pecans, I think.” Stan left the packaging in the kitchen. He’s not positive what they were.   “Right. So I can’t eat them.” Butters has that look on his face, like Stan should already know this. “You know, ‘cause of my allergies?”   Stan shakes his head. He gives Butters a sheepish sort of smile. “Uh, no? Sorry, Butters. I, uh, didn’t know that you had allergies. To, uh, pecans?”   “Nuts, Stan. I got real bad allergies to nuts. They make me get all swollen and wheezy.” Butters pats Stan on the knee. It’s meant to be comforting but doesn’t actually come off that way. “S’kay. I’m pretty good about checkin’ on stuff like that before I chow down. “   Butters says that it’s okay, but Stan can’t stop thinking about it. There’s a lot about Butters that Stan should know but doesn’t – a throw back to being a kid that didn’t really care, wrapped up within his own friend group, within his own thoughts.   It’s just that there are lot of things like that, and most of them Stan can’t do anything about. Most of them, Stan just has to suck it up and deal with it.   This time, though, he catches Butters later that week. He slips into the empty seat across from Butters and slides a small package of cookies towards him. “Hey. I, uh, got these for you.”   “What? That’s awful nice’a you, Stan.” Butters pulls the package a little closer. “These look real good.”   “They’re strawberry,” says Stan, even though the package clearly says that. “I’m really sorry, Butters. About, uh, before. I don’t remember you saying anything about being allergic to anything.”   Butters looks back down at the package of wafer cookies. When he grins, it’s all white teeth and dimples. “You didn’t have to do that, Stan. It’s real sweet, though. You gonna sit here and share them with me, or do you got plans with Kyle today?”   “I was hoping to sit here?” Stan gives the other boy a sheepish smile.   Butters pops open the package of cookies and passes them out. “That’s what I was hoping you would say!”
