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.

I’d say, “Quit while you are ahead” but you crossed that threshold about 75 posts ago.
Reminds one where people went crazy over masks! 🙄
You have a very droll sense of humor. Sometimes it is very funny.
Yes, I'm sure.
:)
No, I don’t blame the parents. They have a right to travel the same as you or me.
For some people peanuts are toxic, a severe poison. What don’t you understand about that?
It’s not an infringement of his rights to ask him to not eat or to have another snack.
Stop blaming the victim for his rudeness and ignorance.
I
Pretty sure he is just trolling. I’m pretty sure he isn’t really serious.
It’s never funny, merely obnoxious. Like a 12 year old boy.
Loved that movie.
i thought that there were already peanut free flights.
This whole story is confusing.
If mom of Poppy knew the kid had this allergy why did n’t she ensure a peanut free flight.
Or is that what a peanut free flight is- you roll up at the ticket counter, announce “no peanuts” and then the airline has to ensure every person on the flight gives up their snacks?
You’d think it would be easier in a life/death situation.
I don’t know anyone Should I be ashamed that I don’t? Does it make me a begot of some type? Maybe I am a peanut apologist?
Stop! You’re killing me! :)
It’s basic human kindness (very different from the masks which people here are trying to compare).
In time, as thinking men came to question ‘Authority’ and the ‘Scientific Method’ began to be developed, the arcane ancient practices were questioned and new ideas were embraced.
Galen has long been viewed as a hindrance to medical progress, but certainly the man himself was a pioneer in surgery and the understanding of the human anatomy.
It was the Church and establishment Bureaucrats which restrained Physicians for centuries.
I loved your post here.
Racist, much?
That wasn't a waste. It has reliably kept Democrats in power ever since.
It just wasn't done for the purpose which it was claimed to have been done for.
“you roll up at the ticket counter, announce “no peanuts” and then the airline has to ensure every person on the flight gives up their snacks?”
You roll up and announce you have several comorbidities for covid. Does the airline have to make all passengers wear masks and show proof of getting the jab?
Where does nonsense end?
He’s *always* trolling.
He’s on a Mission from God - or something.
I learned about him when I was young. He appears to have been a wonderful human being.
I guess I don’t consider being asked to not eat a snack because it could harm someone else to be much of an inconvenience.
I also don’t run down blind people who happen to cross my path, or shove the lame or elderly out of my way because I have my “rights” to go where I want when I want.
Common courtesy goes a long way towards a civilized society that lives in peace with others.
Anyone who gets so put out about a request to accommodate so simple a request is beyond immature. They never left toddlerhood.
