omg the way you were treated by the airline was appalling. You should write a letter to them! You really are severely allergic to peanuts..I'm so sorry to hear! It's really enlightening/informative to hear your story though!

[mallow610]

@Maximaboy1 ya i called the airline and told them about it and @replied theairline on twitter (they said they would look into it....nothing happened)...i wanted to write a letter but still havent gotten around to it

[epicNF20]

wait if there's no cure for allergies what are allergy shots for? and why do u say u were "discriminated against" for your allergy if you specifically asked to be treated differently?...

[mallow610]

@epicNF20 i asked to be accommodated. airlines usually do not have a problem. usually they would do a no peanut flight...but for some reason they didnt this time...they literally said "we are moving you to the back of the plane so we don't inconvenience as many passengers" now on your side you think "oh that's logical", but on my side, i bought my plane ticket in that location for a reason, i shouldnt have to be moved cuz of my allergy = discrimination

[epicNF20]

wait if there's no cure for allergies what are allergy shots for?

[mallow610]

@epicNF20 there are pills and shots for other less threatening food allergies that can help reduce the reaction that occurs...but there isnt rly anything that does it for peanuts

[mercer401]

Peanuts, almonds, brazil nuts, macadama nuts, hazelnuts and others, but not cashews which I love. All shell fish. Cod fish, big time. A small reaction to salmon and tuna, but I can eat without having an anaphylaxis reaction. Carrots, cucumbers. Peas and lima beans big time. One of the the worst is humus (chicpeas)
