Are nut-free zones necessary?

(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - We've all heard the stories about concerns related to peanut allergies. Peanuts have been banned in some schools, on airplanes, and now there are special nut-free zones at some ballparks, like Wrigley Field in Chicago.

Is all of this really necessary, or an over-reaction? We recently spoke with one of the country's leading authorities on the topic, Dr. Michael Young, an allergist with South Shore Allergy & Asthma specialists and Children’s Hospital Boston. Dr. Young is also the author of the peanut allergy answer book.
