Allergy Deaths
https:/
Another sad story about a young person dying from ingesting something they were allergic to - in this case cow's milk; in that of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse it was sesame seeds in a Pret baguette.
But what I don't understand is how do those who have an allergy to something that is so severe that it will kill them, know about it. Surely the first time they ingested it, it would have killed them.

But how that mother took her child to a coffee shop knowing of her deadly allergy without an EpiPen defeats me. Also to expect the barista to do a deep clean of the utensils to eradicate any trace of cow's milk is really unrealistic and unreasonable. I blame the mother.
The first time you eat a food that you are allergic to there is no physical reaction, so you don't know. It sets off a sort of trigger so the next time you eat it you have a mild reaction that you might not even notice.
Subsequent ingestions result in more severe reactions that make sure you know. Eventually it can kill
