(George) did so
burbleth:
Who can eat the oil with impunity. The allergy is to the proteins.
You want real danger, worry about bacteria not the foolish stuff.
Tell ya what Bunky. Go here.

Scroll down to "Is
peanut oil dangerous?" and read what it says about it.
The dog didn't eat "my" homework.
Note to self. Don't go to this guy's house to eat either.
Well, now, your link pretty much confirms what George said--according
to that site there is no evidence to support the contention that
refined peanut oil is dangerous even to people with peanut allergies
and only ten percent had non-severe reactions to the unrefined oil.
And that was with a 10ml dose, which is an almighty lot more than
anybody is going to pick up off a cutting board.
So it appears that the risk inherent in using peanut oil on a cutting
board is in fact vanishingly small.
