Mead girl learns to cope with peanut allergy

You might think of a rash or skin irritation when you think of an allergic peanut reaction, but as KXLY4's Kalae Chock reports, for the 3 million children in the U.S. now living with food allergies, the threat can be deadly.

@rockhound694u You are clearly disturbed and incapable a linear thought. Though I am forturnately neurologically intact (and belong to MENSA), statements like yours, displaying the most simplistic of logic,(plus the 'all caps' messages) make one question your development.

Our species is remarkably strong; or did you forget we're at the top of the food chain. Further, it is not "natures plan" that industry should use legume and tree nut oils in so much of our processed foods. So nah!

@1stHixish ITS REAL EASY YOU STAND IN FRONT OF IT AND LOOK AT IT. ITS YOUR TOLERANCE THAT MAKES US WEAK AS A SPECIES! I BET YOU LOVE RETARDED PEOPLE ALSO. ITS REAL SIMPLE IN NATURE. IF YOU ARE RETARDED OR CAN'T EAT THINGS YOU DIE. NATURE IS GREAT.

@rockhound694u Oh-how do you look at yourself in the mirror? Just wait til someone you love develops something deadly. And that day will come, unfortunately. Then you'll learn a little empathy and perhaps some tolerance.

I'm in the same position as seungrivip94. I'm 19 and I've grown up with this allergy. I read labels on everything and ask waiters and cooks at restaurants about peanut oil and cross-contamination. The simplest trips like to get ice cream are difficult because these people use the same scoops for every ice cream tub! No, these people don't understand and the issue needs to be addressed properly! I've had this allergy since I was at least 1 year old. I've had this allergy since before the spike.
