I had never thought of the "nut allergy" implications - very sad story:

Crazy issue that I never thought of, either...and I'm a safety nerd for an Edmonton sandblasting company (we were not connected to this incident).

Yep I'm allergic to nuts. One of the reasons I went straight to SS wet tumbling.
