Already asking ourselves whether it makes sense to keep a first aid kit or a chemical spill kit instead of dismissing the possibility that some things could happen would be great.
Regarding allergens: I'm in germany. Working with fungi constitutes an S1* activity. Because some fungi can produce spores, which can cause severe allergy. This means that spaces where this can happen have to comply to all S1 requirements, plus they must have ensure air circulation.
That's how the law it's written. This means that here, if you are producing cheese, which might have mold growing on it then you must comply to S1* standards: such example is given in the appendix to the law concerning handling of biological material.
Now, is it exaggerated? I have no idea.

It's certainly good to talk about practical exposure levels that could cause allergy attacks.
Doctors that treat people have shock reactions to injected allergen treatments at a rate of 2 or 4 per thousand,
fluctuating monthly in that range, said one I know. They make people stay for 20 minutes after injections
so remedies can be done easily if an attack happens.
What would be reasonable in a teaching biohackerspace?
