    Well, some people do have horrible peanut allergies and can go into anaphylactic (sp?) shock if they injest peanut products. Actually if I'm not mistaken it's not the peanuts but a fungus that lives on peanuts. So food mfgrs. put that warning on any food label if there were any peanuts used in the plant, on the off chance some penut detrius makes it's way into their product (CYA). I feel sorry for people with really bad food allergies, it's a difficult life.

    Took a trip with a friend a few years back and before we got on the plane she told me what to look out for and showed me how to use the injector she always carried with her. That was reassuring not.

    I alway cringe on airplanes when they hand out the peanut packets (while most airlines give out pretzels nowadays, I think Southwest still gives out peanuts), and I hope there's no-one on the plane with a peanut allergy!
