I had a patient years ago who had a severe allergic reaction after sitting next to someone who was eating peanuts - apparently some people are so sensitive that inhaling the peanut oil from the air can trigger anaphylaxis. Obviously this isn't something you'd want to chance in an airplane with limited air circulation at 30,000ft!
Seems silly, but it really isn't.
