Not being a doctor or other medical person, I had no idea that there were people who are so allergic to nuts that their lives could be endangered by merely touching an unopened packet of peanuts. or by people sitting three rows in front or behind them in an airplane eating nuts. This sounds like a very dangerous condition to me and one that really should prevent you from travelling on public transport at all. You cannot expect all the staff and crew and fellow travelers on a flight with you to be responsible for your health. How do you know somebody in the second row behind you hasn't brought some nuts with him or her, whether the flight crew hands them out or not? It is even possible that someone might not care whether a fellow passenger is mega-allergic to nuts and continue chomping away even if told their snack is endangering a life.
Sorry but I think you have to look after yourself and not expect others to do it for you and if you are really that allergic to nuts you should only travel in a private car or other conveyance that you can insure is nut-free yourself.
