So with secular schools in EY starting on September 1st, a group of Israeli allergy doctors decided it was a good time to demand that schools allow parents to send the kids back with Bambas in their backpacks. A group of allergists belonging to Israeli Medical Association published research saying that kids with food allergies are not a risk of serious reactions if others bring allergenic foods to class. Notwithstanding years in which it was prohibited as a matter of policy to bring in foods that could provoke an allergic reaction in children with food allergies, the Israel Association of Allergy and Clinical Immunology advises the educational system to allow allergenic foods into schools and kindergartens. Others think it is a grossly misguided change in policy that would puts children with food allergies at risk.
Now that we have gotten beyond Covid and masks, seems like a good time to find some new public health broigas to assure that parents have something to focus on.Tell me you’ve never been the parent of a toddler without telling me you’ve never been the parent of a toddler…..

GadolHadorah,
“Now that we have gotten beyond Covid and masks”
I wish it were so.
Pray tell, why isnt it a risk to children with allergies?
Peanut allergies can ch”v be deadly. Google it.
While probably not the point of this thread, all schools should train their staff on recognizing allergic reactions, should have EpiPens or Auvi-Qs handy and the staff should be trained on administering them.
There is nothing more important than quickly administering Epinephrine for a child having a bad allergic reaction.
“However, I guess none of these ehrliche medical geniuses have children who have ever “shared” some snacks during recess or lunch with stuff other kids brought from home.”
As a parent its nuts (pun intended) to me that this is now the view! My son is young. I’ve seen him lick food directly off the table at school bc the boy next to him did it! He eats stuff he finds on the floor. One time he tried to eat one of those 4th of July noisemakers because he thought it was candy!
Apparently, peanut crisis is not that simple. Peanut allergy is on the spectrum. So, the 20% are protected by the policy, but remaining 80% of mild sufferers could overcome the allergy by exposure, but, instead, grow with the allergy. So, for the mild cases, maybe add peanuts to your cholent. Ask your doctor fist, of course,
