US TRAVEL ADVISORY Peanut Ban Studied

While there is an estimated nearly 2 million American's who have peanut allergies, some medical experts have pointed out that potentially more deadly is the eating of peanuts on an enclosed space by large numbers of people can produce peanut dust which can result in allergic reactions.
Food service companies and agricultural groups have cried 'foul' over the possible move.
