[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 548636, member: 1233"] Warnings about peanut oil ARE required, and they are on the nutrition info that almost no one reads. Usually in tiny print, posted somewhere hidden by newspaper or napkin dispenser. I am glad he doesn't have many allergies, grass and peanuts are tough enough to manage! I am just surprised that they tested him at 3. We have a top allergy researcher in our state and they won't test anyone under 5 because the tests are not very reliable until age 5. Seems they can add new ones fast until then and they can also have them just disappear or change until age five. Plus if you move more than 15 miles the tests have to be redone if you are on allergy shots or you won't be getting the right things. Or so we were told by this allergy doctor. He really is fabulous, but I don't know if he was right about the age thing. thank you's sure didn't change then. He can tolerate some of the things he was allergic to now, but he doesn't like them so he still avoids them. If daycare is good, they will make sure that whomever is in charge is trained in epipen use. it isn't hard, and the company will send a training video and materials that are very clear. You also get a trainer in the packs with the epipens so that you can train for use. Our school requires the school secretary, the teacher and the principal and any vice principals to all undergo yearly epipen training. One of them MUST be in the building at all times if there is even ONE student with an epipen. His mom will have to go to the school nurse and work out an action plan for what to do to manage his allergies and how to handle emergencies.
