I don't get this. Why they hell would he eat a cookie if he didn't know what was in it. Why the hell wouldn't the mom try the 2 month exprired epi pen? It's not like it was 2 years expired. Sad story, but seriously full of facepalms.last words: "Ah, the hell with it, I'm sure it's fine,"

She had one in her cupboard but it had expired two months earlier. First responders told her over the phone that she shouldn't use it.

I realize being a first responder is a tough job, but if they are not 100% sure about something you would think they would call someone and find out.
He was careful his entire life though, this event doesn't make any sense.Because he was 19.
You'd think people who KNOW they have nut allergies would be extremely careful about what they eat...![]()
The mom says she is surprised people can die to nut allergies. Really? The whole you can't breath thing didn't tip her off and no doctor told her it isn't life threatening...
last words: "Ah, the hell with it, I'm sure it's fine,"
There's not a lot of time. They probably couldn't get ahold of the doctor. Even the doctor said though that he's not sure if it would have helped, but that she should have used it.
And if it was a choice between death and expired epi pen, I would've chose epi pen.
This is what happens when the government holds your hand for too long, and absolves everyone from personal responsibility. It creates non-thinking drones that can't operate without guidance from "authority".
from then on i've never eaten macadamia nuts again. it's so odd that it came out of nowhere.
Within minutes the teen was home; it was about 6:30 that evening, and he was doubled over and turning black and blue, his mother said. "I can't breathe, I can't breathe," he had said. He hadn't unpacked yet so his mom couldn't find his Epi-Pen -- an epinephrine autoinjector. She had one in her cupboard but it had expired two months earlier. First responders told her over the phone that she shouldn't use it.
I gasped when I read that. That is horrible. He needed the epi-pen STAT. I would have used the expired one, and then the neighbors one.Only 2 months expired get real. I'm pretty sure it would have saved his life.
