Eliminate Peanuts and Tree Nuts From Concord's Elementary Schools
Sign Now
Many people do not realize that peanut and tree nut allergies are life-threatening. It is not just a case of hives and a visit to the doctor. In fact, inhaling/breathing in or touching small amounts of peanuts can lead to anaphylaxis and death. Approximately 100 people die yearly from peanut allergies alone. Three children have died in Massachusetts since 1999 from exposure to peanuts or tree nuts in schools.
Given the potential for life-threatening consequences, a number of public and private schools in the United States and Canada have banned nut products.
By signing this petition you are showing your support to eliminate peanuts and tree nuts from Concord's elementary schools commencing September 2005. Thank you for your efforts to keep the children of Concord safe. Please forward this to your friends.
