Comment on Safe to say peanuts into a US school too?
SGG@lemmy.world 6 months agoThat’s awesome if it works. But I had to provide IT support at a school once that had to specifically tell even contractors to please not being anything with peanuts onto the school grounds. They had a kid with a severe peanut allergy and a habit of licking everything (behavioural “quirk” to put in nicely, I had literally been licked on the elbow).
Admittedly that was only once in almost 20 years of doing IT support in schools. But I am more than happy to sacrifice some personal liberty in that kind of situation.

Ironically, when I was in middle school it was a common joke to lick people’s elbows when they weren’t paying attention. The joke was that they might not notice it at first, since elbows supposedly had few nerve endings.
It was about as common as untying people’s shoe laces, for a while. Meaning: very common.
