It was scarier than I can even explain. We were told that he is lucky to be alive… all because of a stupid peanut. I take extra precautions at all times with him now. I have to check every food he eats, and they have signs up in his classroom and on the fridge at his preschool that warn of his allergy.

I think stuff like this is diagnosed more now, but in the old days people would just die from it and they’d put down that the cause was unknown. I am glad people are taking steps to help those who suffer from it. And yes, I did say suffer. You don’t know what a difficult thing it can be until you’ve experienced. There are nuts everywhere!
