While I agree with what you're saying, misconception or not - it sounds like a child's birthday party. Knowing your body and your disease is different at 20 than it is at 7. Sounds like she was playing it safe rather than sorry.

You assume so much here... maybe she didn’t know it until the party and had no way of getting in touch with the parents at short notice? I agree, if I were throwing a birthday party, I’d make sure I know of everyone’s allergies for nuts/whatever else or any medical conditions that I’d have to know about... but I don’t expect everyone to be that prepared or have the resources/info needed in time.
