It does seem extreme, I can't see the same happening if they caught a bus or a train or went to an event in an arena.

Do they ever go to shops, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants or cinemas, such places are awash with peanuts.

Probably, but not with the same recirculating air system in a confined space though

Is it too obvious to suggest that if a same recirculating air system in a confined space can damage your health, or even lead to your death, then do not, under any circumstances, place yourself in said confined space.

I guess if people are selfish enough not to give up something ( that they probably don't eat anyway) for a few hours, then yes, you might as well lock yourself away.
Fortunately most people are not like that, and are understanding of others needs

Next time I fly this is me and the missus in case some inconsiderate sod farts or eats a Nutella sandwich...

[Supersub6]

So humanitarian when you can do bugger all about it but couldn't give a toss when you can. Very strange indeed.
Leopards and spots spring to mind.

But 'most people' isn't enough is it, you need 100% compliance on a plane with potentially 400 people on board, many of whom will be 'worse for wear' if you know what I mean. If you want to put your own life, or even worse your child's life, in the hands of drunken arsewipes on an aeroplane, you need to give your head a fecking great wobble imo.

Besides which,

"Although nut allergy is real and scary for parents and sufferers – it can’t for practical purposes be transmitted through the air enough to cause these severe reactions. Researching the story for my new book, The Diet Myth, I spoke to several of the world’s leading food allergy consultants including Adam Fox, a consultant in paediatric allergy at St Thomas’ Hospital. He and colleagues who have worked for many years testing thousands of children with severe allergic reactions had “never heard of nut vapours causing these severe reactions”. Peanut particles are heavy and although can form dust on surfaces, studies have been unable to detect peanut particles in the air or the key allergens in the air in sufficient amounts to cause a reaction. They all agreed that the plane incident as it was reported could not have occurred however strong the plane air conditioning or the belief of the parents. Her lips or tongue must have touched something else directly. The timing was unfortunate and the exact trigger still a mystery."

SInky, so does this mean that we can trust some experts but not others? I am confused! Who do we believe about what?
Permission requested to remain ever the cynic and believe nowt and carry on regardless.

They also announced on the new Jet2 Airbus I travelled on they have a disabled person's wheelchair available to move about the cabin. If the nuts don't get you the f*cking wheelchair will.

Are you seriously equating killing these kids with bombs and bullets with an aeroplane ban on eating f*cking peanuts?
