Yeah exactly, if her allergy was that severe - which it evidently was not, see the comment by Eurowings about a general buildup due to the nature of airplane flight and airplane in-air circulation and she survivedt hat - then she would naturally not be flying commercial. There'd be no way to do that without immediately triggering her allergy.
Not only that, but did she handle the packages of nuts after purchase? Because if she did, she came into contact with an absolute shit ton of nut particles, and would have had a reaction.

It is your fault for being human.
Also wouldn’t there still be shit in the air and on surfaces from the previous flight where everyone enjoyed their peanuts?
obviously there is a way to do that without immediately triggering an allergy, and she found one of those ways. not being someone with a peanut allergy you have no idea about "buildup" levels, but she does
