Oh yeah, I not only read it, I understood it too. Here's a partial quote from that link: quote: "Is peanut oil dangerous? Amazingly, people who are allergic to peanuts only rarely have reactions to peanut oil which has been refined." end quote
The operational word there as I see it is "rarely". Which does not mean, or even imply, "impunity" as you phrased it. And, as I recall it, the subject was peanut oil, not peanut butter.
So, are you saying you'd be willing to use peanut oil, of any type, knowing that a person is allergic to peanuts, with the firm conviction no harm would occur? Or would you tell the person before hand, and expect him/her to trust you that no harm would come of it? Let's see a show of hands, from just the eople here allergic to peanust: Would you trust him that no harm would occur? Or would you go somewhere else to eat?
I'll say this. If I was allergic to peanuts, I'd stay away from peanut oil too - period - and I wouldn't care how many people said it wouldn't hurt me.
JOAT When in doubt, go to sleep.
