Study Challenges Airline Nut Allergy Policies and Passenger Safety

A recent study challenges airline nut allergy policies, revealing that airborne transmission of nut allergens is largely unfounded. Conducted by Dr. Paul Turner and Dr. Nigel Dowdall, the research emphasizes the need for airlines to adopt more consistent practices to protect passengers with severe allergies. With evidence showing that food-induced allergic reactions are rare during flights, the study advocates for better communication and proactive measures to enhance safety for allergy sufferers in the aviation industry.
