Ms. Poupart is the life of parties.

You are taking a smart approach. My mom's allergies developed in the 1980s. I would hope treatment and testing for allergies have come a long way since then.

You would think they had! My first incident was in 05 but got worse. The allergist I first saw was less helpful than Web MD. My GP and her progressive nurse practitioner think it may have been chemical changes in the body over the years and the fact that I had my gallbladder and appendix removed and may have had something to do with it. I have also developed diverticulitis. I have always been a healthy eater so it's frustrating. I feel lucky though that my sensitivity isn't to every nut. People with shellfish allergies have to go nuts eating out! Oops, no pun intended!

A semi retired guy I worked with was diabetic. Only in his 60s and not overweight. He kept dried pineapple with him in addition to a small soft side cooler. He got everyone addicted to that stuff! I bought a mini fridge for my and my office mates food because no nuts. He was welcome to store anything in there but he loved those dried pineapple! So everyone would bring him in some because he was always sharing! My grandma was also diabetic and she never ate granola. Lol

Because your comfort is worth more than my f*****g life? Interesting...

hey frankenfrog....assume much? perhaps there was a death in the family. perhaps she was going overseas. maybe she was underage and couldn't drive. jesus get a grip you cranky thing.

Drive to Hawaii. Let us know how that turns out for you.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm American and I care. My mother almost died from a pecan allergy. Her throat was swollen so much they had to use a child's tracheal tube on her.

So people with allergies aren't allowed to fly in your opinion? Wow.

I'm afraid I cant drive to Europe from the USA without sinking to the bottom of the ocean. So, how about you consider how HARD it must be to live without your PRECIOUS tree nuts for a few hours. I mean, I've spent many hours in an hospital from an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts, and trust me, I would take a few hours in a plane with fruit snacks over that

Thank you! Its honestly surprising just now many people value their temporary comfort over my life. And if you want to know, yes, I was wearing a surgical mask and gloves as I have been taught to, since people like Ueda exist

If you don't have allergies of the alleged extent, you don't plan ahead like that. If I am with my kids and the only snack I have is something containing some nuts, then I'm hardly inconsiderate. To have allergies that are so severe you can't be in the room with nuts of any kind, is severely debilitating. Sure. But it is that way because the person suffering I living in a world where nuts are a very common ingredient in foods. And you learn to plan around public spaces the best way you can. With a possible escape plan. Which is not happening on a plane. I think Lila is full of cow dung.

I think Rissie is inconsiderate and would feel completely different if her kids had an allergy. I have a nut allergy and am used to people saying and doing ignorant things. Luckily most people are nice about it. Is it that hard to refrain from eating nut snacks on a plane?

Isn't it a common trope that peanuts are handed out as a midflight snack?

Most switched to pretzels a long time ago because of the amount of children with nut allergies. I haven't booked a flight in a while but usually it is noted. We are driving distance to most places and it appears I outgrew my nut allergies. But I know how scary it was. Plus injecting an Epi-Pen means the plane needs to land ASAP and get you to an ER so you really don't want to mess around with other people's allergies.

Most flights I’ve been on now hand out pretzels.

The last time I flew was in January of 2020 an they gave out Cheez-It crackers and a ginger cookie. I got an extra ginger cookie because it was my birthday.

It is and I remember my brother going through mixed nuts on a plane and testing them because his wife is deadly allergic to peanuts. She does carry an epipen but he wanted to be doubly sure. The flight attendant was a bit appalled and thought he was just starving.

It wasnt, at least, not at the area I live.

No, the passenger was full of cow dung. Airlines cannot prevent passengers from bringing those items on board, but they can request passengers to refrain from opening or consuming those items in the confined space in presence of someone with a severe allergy. People with allergies have the same rights to fly as you do.

You expect people to accommodate you, all the while complaining about having to accommodate others. The difference is, YOU won't die of an inconvenience! You think your comfort is worth more than their life. That is insanely entitled.

If said allergy is so severe that she can't even be in the same room the size of a plane with nuts, then it is not entiteld to expect she seeks alternative transportation. Yes, the AUDACITY that a full plane is not immediately bowing down to her demands, tsts... Somehow I don't think Lila's a pleasant person to be around... Perhaps she could have worn a surgical mask & gloves and tried to not touch, involuntarily eat or inhale those nuts instead?

You don't understand a thing about allergies, do you? The trigger is the aroma of nuts in the immediate vicinity within the confined space of a handful of seats. Not the "entire plane" -- even though Lila could request no nuts be served and the airline would comply. Would you honestly want to be responsible for sending someone into anaphylactic shock? What about the hundreds of thousands of individuals who have eaten nuts their entire lives then develop a sudden allergy? What if that person is you or someone you love? Get real.

It's okay, I'm half joking anyway 🙃 It's just a pet peeve of mine, like actual Karen's being insulted by the current trend. Animals being Anthropomorphized as bad is why some end up being killed on sight, among other things. It creates misunderstandings that can be potentially dangerous, even deadly, for them and us.

Sir, the plane is revolting Well yes, but we'll clean it when we land
