Robert Kennedy Jr.'s son Conor
?Robert Kennedy Jr.'s son Conor has been rushed to hospital emergency
rooms 31 times and has been hospitalized nine times because of food
allergies. He's six years old.
"We have to be hyper-vigilant," his mother, Mary, told the New York
Post last year. "We have to make sure he doesn't come into contact
even with someone who has eaten a peanut butter sandwich."
The Kennedys' son is one of an estimated seven million Americans who
suffer from food allergies. Avoiding contact with peanuts or other
foods is the only way to escape the uncomfortable--or in some cases
life-threatening--reactions they cause.?

people would appreciate the gravity of anaphylaxis. Kennedy seemed
moved, and asked the former director of FAI to contact Whelan..?

goes into ana...
Mr. LEMPERT: Anaphylactic shock.
COURIC: ...anaphylactic shock, yeah.
Mr. LEMPERT: But here's the problem: That he could buy a product, a
candy bar for example...
COURIC: Right.
Mr. LEMPERT: ...which has natural flavors on it, and it would not be
identified as having peanut flavor.
COURIC: But--so I've noticed some packaging recently, you can
say--many of the ingredients labels do say, `May contain trace
elements of peanut.'
Mr. LEMPERT: Right.
COURIC: Isn't that enough??
