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.

  • Do… do you read the ingredients list of every single food you eat?

    If I had a lethal food sensitivity YES I WOULD!

    Hell, I have a minor sensitivity to lactose and I will check things that might have milk or such. Not religiously, because my cost if I slip up is bloating and mild discomfort. But if it would kill me? HELL YES!

      I’ll read the ingredients on many things first, just because I can. It’s just a good practice if you even have the slightest bit of interest in food chemistry.
