\"Staff<\/a>Staff Training: Food Allergies & Anaphylaxis in School \u2013 What School Staff Need to Know<\/a><\/strong>\n

This 30 minute module is designed to assist the school nurse in staff training of management of life-threatening allergic reactions and increase food allergy awareness for all school staff including teachers, food service personnel, administrators, aides, specialists, coaches, bus drivers, custodians and others.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n

FOOD ALLERGY MYTH<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe smell of peanut butter will cause an allergic reaction in someone with a peanut allergy.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FOOD ALLERGY FACT<\/h2>\n

The smell of peanut butter is caused by pyrizines, which are not proteins. In most cases it is the proteins that trigger allergic reactions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

COMMENTARY:<\/h2>\n

In a small study conducted on children with peanut allergy<\/a>, peanut butter was held one foot from the noses of the subjects for ten minutes. None of the children experienced an allergic reaction. The smell that we perceive when someone is eating a peanut product is caused by a volatile organic compound, not a protein. \u00a0Proteins are the most common cause of allergic reactions.<\/p>\n

Although the above information \u00a0is reassuring, respiratory exposure to food allergens can cause allergic reactions. \u00a0There have been deaths associated with the inhalation of actively cooked foods. \u00a0Take caution with flours, powders and other small particles of food that can go up in the air.<\/p>\n
