Yes, we had our big allergy appointment for testing and we were in the room patiently waiting for the doctor when Bee broke out as she was eating her snack. At first, I suspected the snack, although it was something she had eaten many times before. Then I began to inspect our room. In the trash can I found a box which had contained individual packages of a trail mix that contained peanuts.
I immediately found a nurse in the hallway and showed her the trash. She had the trash taken out and I washed Bee's face and hands. Within several minutes the hives began to subside.
I'm glad she was ok and the reaction was small. But I was still furious. We are at the office of our allergist/immunologist. No one in that building should be eating a snack containing peanuts. Many of their patients are peanut allergic and those reactions can be life threatening.
Why don't people think?
