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.
On top of that, a lot of lethal allergies are spontaneously developed. You’re walking around chowing down on peanuts until one day you puff up, turn red, and can’t breathe. Almost half the people with such allergies developed them in adulthood. The presence of food allergies doubles in late adolescence. There’s a very good chance at age 17 that she knows what nuts taste like.
