Peanut Allergy Questions

[lesliepear]

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.

Whereas my kids are right now clamoring for the gumbo to be done, love okra (and we're dyed-in-the-wool Yankees!) and have a major thing for goat cheeses, Moroccan-style stuffed peppers, and salmon.

It's all a matter of what they're exposed to.
