I don't know what you think happened, but she went into a cafe and ate a sundae with nuts in it. Nothing about rolling in a pen.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to have restaurants required to have a simple first aid kit with something like that in it, and to have a member of staff trained in the administering of the required first aid?

well that was the point of the article I believe. Personally I would have no qualms at sueing the arse of a restaurant that thick (because she specifically asked them if it had nuts) but SB is right, if you are that alergic you really should have an epi pen with you at all times imho

"Aren't you embarrassed?" asks the girl in the ad.
"Of course not!" replies the older sports announcer man.
"That's okay, I have enough embarrassment for the both of us." says I.

I like your Nanny State attitude, but you're really not going far enough. The nut needs to be banned. No, not just banned. Eradicated from the face of the planet. And why stop at nuts? Wheat. Dairy products. Avocado. Shellfish. Fucking bananas. Get rid of them all. Only then can we live in a truly safe and just society.

Avocado? What kind of a Salmon Temaki hand roll would you end up with without some Avocado?

Because no amount of first aid can undo contraindications from giving someone epi when shouldn't have.

For which we only have the word of those present. Furthermore, people with nut allergies know full well the danger they face on a daily basis.

At least now she can't pass along that evil gene. Future disasters of millions of allergic children adverted.
