By this time, you've provided enough education to open the eyes of even those who have not encountered food allergies before.  Don't be surprised if you still encounter a few disbelievers, but you know enough not to trust these folks as caregivers.

 

Innocent mistakes can be deadly and although we might not like to think like that, it's much better to address the potential seriousness up front rather than trying to pick up the pieces after a serious reaction. Having your child suffer an allergic reaction is no way to teach that lesson.
