and his preschool has been very sloppy in making sure he isn't eating them or eating anything made with or processed with them. Today I was the room-mom and saw them giving the children pretzels made in a factory that processes peanuts. If I hadn't been there my son could have eaten them and gotten sick, or worse. This is the 3rd "incident". We are putting him into another school-- ASAP. I am sick over this! What would you do?

First that is terrible..and I'm glad he is okay. I've experienced the same thing. You jst have to really continue to express the seriousness of the allergy and make sure the proper procedures come to play if he is exposed and has a bad reaction. There is no guarantee that the next school will be any better..hopefully not worse. Express your concerns to the staff repeatedley and educate your child and teach your child to ask about the foods that others give him. I taught my son at an early age to make people aware of his allergy and so far so good but when he was a little guy he had lots of hives due to the carelessness of preschool staff. Good Luck

I would file a formal complaint, and pull him out ASAP. In finding a new one, maybe ask whether the carer's are trained in that sort of thing, using the EpiPen, and have knowledge of Anaphylaxis. Most people without knowledge think that a tiny bit wouldn't hurt, but don't realise the more you give a child, the worse the allergy gets. My friend is also allergic, and she can't be in the same room as someone making a peanut butter sandwich, as the allergins can travel. A peanut allergy can easily turn deadly, and should NEVER be taken lightly, especially with children

We found out that my oldest daughter was allergic to peanuts when she was 1 year old. She is deathly allergic and everything has to be watched very closely. Do you have an epi-pen to keep with the provider?
Anyhow I send her snacks and stuff with her to the school and other groups and I make sure that there's plenty. But if I were in your shoes I'd call the cops and file a neglect complaint and get my money back from the negligent care they provided.

you son should know not to take foods that aren't checked out by you or someone there who's authorized.
you've talked to the staff? there is a notice posted? information also in case of ingestion?
putting him into another school isn't going to help... they feel they're not getting paid enough to do all that work they feel is totally your problem.
maybe it's time to talk to the boy and pack lunches specifically for him and have his teacher/s hand him that when it's time for lunch.
they can't keep tabs on everything and you can't be there for him 24/7... this is going to happen no matter where you put him...
he should have a big breakfast... and skip the food items offered at school. (most school foods aren't good for the kids no how) and he'll live... when he comes back then he can eat again.
he'll just have to get used to that schedual and maintainence of his diet.

I'd pull him out of that preschool asap (as you have done) and be extremely cautious when choosing a new one. It's also important to file a formal complaint with the proper authorities as other children could also be at risk.

For now, it sounds like you are doing what you can. I assume you have alerted his teachers, and they should be looking out for him. If they are sloppy about this, they could be sloppy about other things. If it continues, you may want to think about tansferring him, if possible.
As your child gets older, he needs to start taking responsibility for knowing his allergies, and monitoring what he's eating. I had very bad allergies as a child, and it became second nature for me to read labels and pick out things I could eat safely. Good luck!
