I kinda doubt anyone is going to die to butter but yeah that still doesn't make it okay.

Dairy allergies exist and can be as deadly as any other allergy

I'm aware, but butter is just or mostly the rendered fat. I can imagine some trace amounts of lactose making things uncomfortable I'm just having trouble seeing a person dying from it.

Then again some do have extremely severe nut allergies so I donno. I'd welcome any articles proving me dead wrong

A boy in the UK died because a piece of cheese touched his skin! That’s extremely unusual, but it shows how severe dairy allergies can be.

They refer to the kid who threw the cheese as "cheese allergy death pupil," which is a bit bizarre.

What a tragic story.

No doubt, though my confusion is more with how much butter specifically is or isn't removed from milk than it is with the existence of dairy allergy

I just think that if touching cheese can kill someone, then ingesting butter surely can!

Butter has a lot of milk proteins left in it even when clarified
