She had a known shellfish allergy and ate lobster?
She must have REALLY wanted out of that date! /j
"because the top of the familiar red packaging was peeled back, hiding the Reese's label"
Seriously, Alexi was "taught the ropes" about what she could eat and not eat but was not taught to read the ingredient label? At fifteen surely she knew that her life depended on investigating any food she consumed and not to trust anything to chance. These cookies look quite different than regular Chips Ahoy.
To blame the friend's mother is unfair.
I had a similar reaction once to a Flovent inhaler (fluticasone propionate), which, ironically, is supposed to help with breathing. A sneeze or cough after using it triggered my throat to swell up and I couldn’t breathe for 30 or 45 seconds. Then my throat wouldn’t relax and go back to normal. That was horribly scary, Fortunately the problem seems to be with just that one corticosteroid med and I haven’t touched it since.
Our oldest son hated fish until he had no choice. He went camping with friends, and they fished for their supper. He eats fish now. He eats anything now if it is coated in hot sauce. haha.
LOL...and all this time I thought it was because she REALLY wanted that lobster. ;>)
The Hygiene Hypothesis is basically the idea that we keep our houses and environment too clean, and therefore don’t give our immune systems something worthy to work on. So the immune system turns on itself, and creates the peanut protein, for example, to be the problem.

Coconut has a property....when being digested it soaks up all your body fluids.
Now on coconut water cans it warns the product can cause severe constipation.
maybe it was a suicide
That’s the part I don’t get. How many pens do you need to counteract one cookie? If two (or more!!!) aren’t enough, I have to wonder what good one pen is.
I.have nothing kind to say about parents who neither instill personal responsibility in their kids nor have them all wear medical bracelets until they can be responsible.
Dont get me started on “holier than thou” adults with nit allergies...
