Some kids would have to be nuts to eat peanuts. There are thousands of people who are allergic to peanuts. They get very sick if they eat them.
Andrew Finkelstein is allergic to peanuts, but he remembers one time when he ate them by accident. "I had to go to the hospital," he said.
Avoiding peanuts is hard, because they are in lots of foods you wouldn't expect. Spaghetti sauce and muffins both have peanuts.
"I'm just happy I'm not one of those kids who can't even be in the same room with peanut butter," Andrew said.
Some schools keep ALL peanuts out to keep kids safe.
