I would be more than willing to work with you in any way on this decision making process. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Welcome to Regulation Room and thanks for the offer. We’re looking forward to your future thoughtful comments.
And hasn’t there been new studies that show 1 out of 10 people with a peanut allergy will have a reaction on an airplane?
Thanks for the information Dr Mom.
So that more users and the DOT could access the information, perhaps you could post a link to a pdf version of the study or the name and author of the study.
Has ANYONE ever actually died on a plane from eating peanuts? Didn’t think so. Most food allergies are imagined. You clearly have a financial interest in promoting the myth of food allergy. If someone is actually that allergic, they should stay home and not inconvenience the rest of us.

I would support a full ban of peanut products on any airline. Peanut reactions can be life threatening. An individual doesn’t have to consume the product to have a life threatening reaction. They can have contact or inhalation reactions.Restricting to certain flights is not enough, as residue can be rampant. Providing buffer zones is a thoughtful gesture, but from a practical point of view does not work. With so many food choices available, why are peanuts a necessary choice? I am a physician , and author on the subject. I have free food allergy online support forums with 3000 members. http://www.drmomsallergyrx.com/
