It's a really sad story, shame that it took this for the mom the realise that she should have been carrying around this injection all along. And again it was pretty reckless to overlook the -this product contains nuts - warning.

Hopefully people and children who get diagnosed with this in the future will be better informed.

..yeah, some are extremely serious, Claudia...at school, children with nut allergies can't eat their lunch on the same table with anyone who has something like a peanut butter sandwich in their lunch...it happened once because no one was aware the child had the sandwich filling and the 'nut allergy' had an instant and extreme reaction...we did have an epi-pen though, which we used and then he was taken to hospital...he was ok but it was very scary...
