Her father is suing.
She has a nut allergy and ate baklava? Because someone told her it didn’t have nuts in it? IT’S MADE OF NUTS!!! Did she eat it with her eyes closed?
She didn’t have an epi pen? She didn’t go to the school nurse? Checked out of school and took a walk instead? What? What?
I don’t have allergies, so someone please help me make sense of this. How could a seventeen year old with nut allergies eat baklava and head to CVS for some Benadryl afterwards?
Isn’t that an unusually bad series of decisions? Darwin Award level? I mean, if it wasn’t this, she might have died trying to dry her hair in the microwave.
Thankfully my allergies aren’t severe enough to need an epi-pen, but when I do happen to consume something I’m allergic to, apparently my intestines end up swelling and also feeling really itchy, from the inside…
Benadryl for about 4 to 6 days is usually sufficient for me as the food digests and passes, but of course the drowsy side effect sucks.
It’s easier for me to just try my best to avoid things I know I’m sensitive or allergic to in the first place, but yes sometimes mistakes have happened.
I do feel really bad for people with deadly level allergies, and if someone with allergies needs help reading ingredients or whatever, I’m more than glad to respect and help, as best as I know anyways.
