Peanut Allergy Questions

I am just curious about this.

Alan has no problem with peanuts and eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at home.

If I make something for his preschool class for a treat, does it matter that my utensils may have been washed in the dishwasher with a knife that had peanut butter and jelly on it? Should I take any other precautions when cooking? (I'm considering making spinach lasagna for international day for his class and we've been asked not to use peanuts - I'll read the boxes on my ingredients carefully.)

Also, are there any good online sites or articles on peanut allergies anyone can recommend? I'm considering sending something in to his preschool to share with other parents.

And I should add, my parents STILL cant handle anything with peanut butter, and we're not talking allergies :)

Oh - related story - during the afganistan conflict AMerican forces were dropping food and medical supply parcels all over the desert for the civilians there...apparently these consisted of large jars of peanut butter which no one there had any idea what to do with. They had a hard time believing people EAT that stuff!
