It has happened (like at the tapas place that had "walnut dust" as an ingredient in a couple of their dishes), but most of the time I really just need to pay attention to what I ingest, and ask questions about things I'm not sure of. Anaphylaxis sucks a big one, but it's never happened because I was in the same room with nuts.
Let me clarify that I was talking about moms not exposing kids to nuts, and the resulting negative effects of an increased chance of allergy. Obviously, if a kid does have a serious allergy, a mom would want to do her best to protect him.
I figure if say a kid in a class has a nut allergy, then it would be a common courtesy not to pack nuts in your kid's lunch if they're in the same class. But you know some mom somewhere is going to try to ban the sale and consumption of nuts in all public places. That's just crazy talk, amirite?
