These peanut allergy people really have a tough life as peanut by-products
can be used in just about anything processed. There's a chance that eating
a bag potato chips could set him off if he didn't read the label or the
factory was sloppy in listing their ingredients or cleaning their
equipment.

I would bet the risk of incapacitation is too high in his case for the FAA
to be comfortable giving him a medical. Please let us know how it turns
out, I'm sure several of us are curious.
