I'm not making light of the situation. Not at all. I'm merely pointing out inconsistencies in people's approach to their allergy. I also seek to educate those so that they're aware that a nut free aircraft is not possible.
What if someone doesn't speak the language of the crew? If they miss the PA and crack open the tub of Planters then it could be very dangerous.
Yet I've never seen a medical mask or gloves worn by a westerner onboard.
I do not support banning certain foods from aircraft as a whole. The gluten free zealots will be wanting all gluten items banned knowing how militant they can be.
