*U*R*G*E*N*T* EVERYONE PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION!

Hello Everyone!

I would like to ask everyone to please take a minute out of your time to please sign the following petition to ban all “Peanuts & Nuts: on airline flights. Some flights are “Peanut & Nut FREE.” However, “you must request” a “Peanut & Nut FREE Flight!” About a year ago I was told about a flight that was suppose to be “Peanut & Nut FREE” but the stewardess started handing out “Peanuts” to the passengers. When the “Peanut Allergic” passenger realized what the stewardess was doing he advised her immediately that this was suppose to be a “Peanut FREE” flight and that if anyone opened their peanuts/nuts that he could go into anaphylactic shock and die! This passenger had to pull out his ticket stub and show the stewardess that the flight was supposed to be “Peanut & Nut FREE!” The stewardess stopped and didn’t hand out any more “Peanut & Nuts.” However, this stewardess didn’t take up the “Peanut & Nuts” that she had already handed out. Therefore, even if a “Peanut/Nut Allergic Passenger” request a “Peanut & Nut FREE” flight there could still be a mistake and “Peanuts & Nuts” could still be handed out or there could be residue on the seat belt, fold down table, the seat, etc. from a flight earlier in the day that wasn’t “Peanut & Nut FREE.” Therefore, it still would not be safe for these passengers to fly. There was a story done several months ago (I think on Dateline) on the cleanliness of airline seats, fold down tables, etc. and the results were extremely disturbing for anyone, not to mention someone with an anaphylaxis allergy to “Peanuts & Nuts!” These airlines may serve pretzels instead of “Peanuts &/or Nuts.” Please click on the link below and take a moment to sign this petition to help protect everyone with an anaphylactic food allergy to “Peanuts & Nuts!” You might not have this allergy today, but you could have it tomorrow as Brentson and I both found out the hard way!
