View comments A mother has told of her mid-air terror after her teenage daughter blacked out and suffered an allergic reaction at 30,000 feet on a British Airways when a passenger opened a packet of peanuts on board.
Joanna Jones, 39, was flying to London from Antigua when her 14-year-old daughter Poppy needed oxygen and two EpiPen shots during the nightmare eight-hour flight after suffering a severe reaction to the nuts.
As Poppy's condition worsened, a quick-thinking nurse on board dashed to help - while the captain considered making an emergency landing.
Eventually the pilot landed the plane safely at Gatwick and Poppy was rushed to hospital.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Joanna said: ’It was a nightmare for all of us and I really thought she might die.

On one hand you claim lawful orders must be followed and then you followed that up with felony assault and murder by yourself. Childish bravado that would get you killed if I saw you do it.
You answer proves yes, and even worse.
“Why the change?”
Vaccine cocktails children have been forced to get over the last decade or two.
Those nuts 10 rows over didn’t do all that. Perhaps you should learn more and condemn less.
And I think this is where you are coming from.
Did you put yourself at risk to precipitate the incident to which you refer? Would you do it again?
If boarding a plane would potentially cause this, would you board a plane?
“FR has become chin deep in jerks recently”
You ignorant people that freak out about crap and demand everyone participate in their ignorance and psychosis.
They probably have protocols for handling these things. There isn’t any information that I saw regarding anything the man said, if he was acting belligerently, whether the situation might escalate, etc.
Poppy is 14. If she has a kid it's her own problem.
“Move her ass to another seat. But no, airline authoritarianism uber alley.”
Yep. NO common sense solutions, just attack others for their own weaknesses and failure to think.
Cowgirl of Justice, I'd like you to meet Manuel OKelley. He has a rational view of the situation but he also shares a similar sort of risk as yourself.
Manuel, thank you for that breath of fresh reason.
I wonder if the girl had been so sterilized thanks to Kung Flu lockdowns and probably had a dozen “boosters” it destroyed her immune system. I too, never remember any peanut allergies when I was a kid. I only knew a couple kids that needed epipens. One was deathly allergic to wasp stings, and another who had sever celiac disease. Never nuts.
Are you sure you want me to do that? It might make the ground rumble enough to trip you up again.
Dottir-Girl needs to find other means of transportation.
Not all people are going to be willing to change their customs to suit her needs.
“Anyone suspect Munchausen’s in the mother’s case? She’s getting a lot of press.”
That was my first thought but I held off since most here have no clue what it is or how this situation is possibly a manifestation of Munchausen by Proxy.
Far too women have turned their children into little dollies, from turning them into homosexual transvestites to helicopter parents to hypochondriacs.
Absent going into a long rant - as I’m unwilling - you aptly hit the nail on the head (in part).
Skipping the rant about causation, a diseased population is a controlled population (and it’s profitable, too).
maybe he figured he had already released killer peanut dust/odor into the air so he figured he would continue to chow down.
I can read- you have a nice day.
Research from several years ago leaned towards overuse of Tylenol as a result of cautions of not using aspirin for young children.
sounds kind of nutty. First, we had 2nd hand smoke, now 2nd hand peanut smell.
FR “libertarians” are some of the most callous, excuses for human beings around.
They have their rights, donthchaknow, and God help anyone who tramples on them. They don’t care if anyone lives or dies because of their actions. The other person just needs to give up their entire lives to make room for them.
And those next in line are the ones who have the great blessing of good health and think everyone who is not as fortunate as them are weaklings or hypochondriacs. IOW, just because they don’t personally experience something, it doesn’t exist.
“Peanut allergies can be cured.”
But how would that help people like Poppy’s mom with Munchausen By Proxy? She wouldn’t be the first mother to deliberately place a kid in a life-threatening situation to get attention.
The person standing next to Poppy washing her hands in the airport restroom could’ve gobbled a pound of peanuts five minutes earlier. No problem with that, though.
