Oh, well-- that's nice. Apparently my child can't have actually HAD anaphylaxis from inhalation. Good to know.
Oh-- wait-- they don't actually SAY that it's impossible. Clever, that. They just say that it's-- like-- REALLY unlikely, and point out that "coughing, sneezing, and a runny nose" are really all that will happen.
Oh-- so those asthma attacks, that was probably just us misunderstanding and thinking that was more than "coughing" fits caused by peanuts, then. I feel
so much better.

I am not really surprised given the source, here, that they'd like to "debunk" the "myths" that:
a) some people are so sensitive that smelling the allergen is enough to trigger reactions (which seems to actually be true for the super-sensitive portion of the allergic curve)
b) a fairly significant portion of the population is impacted (not sure where they are getting that 0,86% figure from, but it seems likely to me that about one in 15 households is
actually impacted at this point, given the apparent uptick in prevalence in the pediatric population, and finally,
c) that peanut oil-- at least the kind that places like Chik Fil A use?-- is
perfectly safe. Right, because if it weren't, they seem to suggest, then the FDA would have told them to put warnings on it.
