Interesting news story on a food allergy.

So is the issue that there are eggs on the plane or that they will be reheating eggs? Because they can not stop other passengers from bringing their own eggs onto the plane. How will they handle going into any restaurant while at WDW if the can not be somewhere with eggs? I am no egg allergy expert, but this seems strange.

COMING SOON TO DISNEY+ "Eggs On A Plane"
No living things (including the eggs) were harmed in the making of this movie.

I can understand a parents fear for their child’s well-being and the need to watch out for her needs. But if the condition is so bad that they expect an airline to restrict all passengers from having eggs and even a seat far aside from any egg product could set off a severe reaction, maybe they would be better off cutting out the trip. Makes me wonder how they can control all the other day to day interactions they have in their lives.

Can I just say 19 thousand pounds could be spent better elsewhere.

I remember the spam sushi from Hawaii at Food and Wine that I genuinely like.

I just can't have sesame seeds. I'm not allergic, I just can't digest them properly, and if they get stuck in me, it can be quite painful. The first time I tried to explain, I had to wait about 20 minutes for a chef to arrive, and he couldn't understand that it was a medical necessity, NOT an allergy. That yes, it can have sesame seed oil, just not sesame seeds.

Finally I gave up and on my second loop around the world, ordered it, but said "preference".

My wife goes back and forth with this issue as well.

She cannot eat mushrooms in any sort of major quantity. If she does, it will send her to the bathroom - bad. So if she gets something with a large piece of mushroom or two in a sauce, she can pick out the mushrooms and be OK. But something where they are incorporated into the actual dish will cause problems. She also does not need to worry about cross contamination in a kitchen.

She tries to explain that it is not that she does not like mushrooms (she actually does like them, just cannot eat them) and they do not have to use a separate prep area, just leave them out of her food. But either she gets the side eye because they think she is being picky about just not liking them, or they go full blown sanitize the prep area before cooking her food.

She is also extremely allergic to penicillin and mold - It is a fungus thing with her.

Is it almost 4/1?

On my last flight home from dl there was a little girl with a nut allergy. They asked the 3 rows behind her and in front of her not to eat nuts on the flight. I was in one of those rows so I couldnt get my normal in flight snack. Not a major inconvenience to make sure she didn't get a reaction.

Ah, another super-speshul "if she sees it she'll die" allergy.

Here's a solution ~ fly private, then you don't have to worry about losing your $25,000 trip.

My concern is that they are making their problem everyone else's problem. That is pure entitlement and selfishness. I know it sounds heartless, but this is a rare allergy and there can be no guarantee of non-exposure.

You cannot avoid eggs at breakfast in America, it's the only time I ever have them for brekkie.

I don't like eggs and have never had a problem getting a breakfast without them.

There is no allergy response unless they are around cooking eggs or she ingests eggs, neither of which will be happening on that flight.

I suggest that she stay home if it's that bad.
Lol or someone should sue saying all they CAN eat is eggs and the flight removed them causing the blood sugar to dive from hunger
