Nuts are always in my carry on because they are compact, easily portable and a regular part of my diet. I pack to manage my health not that of a hypothetical pax on the same flight.
What protein substitute do you suggest that doesn't require refrigeration, is low sodium, and low carb? Also a high fiber substitute for the almonds and good omega 3 substitute for the walnuts? Do I get a third carry on bag to accommodate your allergy? Think I'll stick to advice from my physician.
If I can reasonably accommodate a nearby pax request I will do so. I recently skipped the lime in my seltzer water since the person sitting next to me mentioned a severe citrus allergy (seriously)
Ultimately I will follow the flight safety advice and take care of myself first (parallel to oxygen mask - secure yourself first before assisting others)
