I never really thought about this before as I don't have much in the
way of allergies, but it makes me think about that kid who died after
kissing his girlfriend (or girl who kissed her BF) who had recently
eaten a peanut butter sandwich...

1. If you're allergic to peanuts — and my sympathies for that tragic
misfortune, if you are — Seattle's Safeco Field will be the place to
be on Aug. 5 and Sept. 9. The stadium staff there is planning to make
two sections "peanut-controlled" zones, cleaning each before the game
and banning the sale of peanuts at nearby concession stands so those
afflicted by the food allergy can watch the game without worry.

The Mariners are believed to be the first major league team to hold
such a night, but it's not an entirely novel concept. A minor league
team in suburban Chicago made its entire stadium peanut-free earlier
this month.

Though it might seem sacrilegious to some of us shell-cracking folk to
not be able to buy peanuts at a baseball game, I don't have much of a
problem abstaining for a game or two a year. Peanuts can be
potentially deadly to some people and if a little sacrifice on my part
means that they can attend and enjoy a game, then I'm all for it.

Making the entire season peanut-free, though? Now that might be a
little too much.

It is estimated 12 million people in the U.S. have food allergies,
about one-quarter of them children. The incidence of peanut allergies
among children doubled over the five-year period from 1997 to 2002,
according to the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network.
