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.

Or when the served peanut butter sandwiches in elementary school, or when the Girl Scouts sold ‘pecan sandies’.
I guess I am to assume in those earlier rougher times there was a Darwinian process at work.
You’re utterly insane. You don’t understand logic, law or even simple common sense. Murder for eating peanuts? Come on man. It’s her allergy. People die of them all the time it happens. It’s death by natural causes not murder. The reaction is your OWN immune system. That isn’t murder.
“Five Guys? Yeah I didn’t know they did that until my friends in college wanted to go check it out. I didn’t go into anaphylaxis, but I made sure to leave right away.They look liked good burgers too.”
No, it was Texas Road House, or something like that. And you aren’t missing a thing at Five Guys. Before the plandemic they were pretty good, and their fries were fabulous. Now, at least the two I’ve tried in the Atlanta area, are very expensive, and nowhere near their former quality. It’s a shame, and I won’t be going back.
Good point. Nuts are considered very healthy food.
My advice would be to travel by car or train with a private compartment if you have this problem.
My Mom sent me to school many days with a PBJ like many other kids. Nobody passed out and everyone seemed fine.
And when you run off all the paying customers, don’t come whining to me...
Forbade? Is that a legal thing or is it just an order with no claws?
Same here, maybe we killed off all those allergic.
That Darwinian process has ended.
500 posts over some peanut eating on an airplane.
What happens if people fart and others feel sick from the odor? Is there a no fart rule?
It is ALL about the peanut idiot. His selfishness endangered the girl.
Stop blaming the victim.
People like you make conservatives look nuts.
Only to another 12 year old boy : )
Actually, I’m more stuck on the staggering hypocrisy of people screaming about how you can’t impose on them because they have their rights when they have no problem imposing their “rights” on someone else.
I guess to many who can’t see past their own selfish world it depends on whether you are the imposer or the imposee, whether you are the one doing the imposing on others, in which case, everyone else just needs to give way and suck it up, cause look out world, here I come….
Or someone is asking something of them in which case they are the put upon victim and by gosh, nobody can tell them what to do cause they have their “rights”, even when they have no trouble telling others what others can do and denying them the very rights they demand for themselves.
It’s called “hypocrisy”.
Did nobody read the line asking for the identity of the peanut eater? You know he hasn’t been found right? For all we know this woman made it up then gave her daughter a hysterical panic attack. Where is this mysterious “man with the peanuts”? How do we know he exists? Funny how no one has come forward and identified him! Munchausen’s by proxy anyone? Mother was looking for attention and maybe a payout.
I would tell them where you live.
Factitious disorder is a serious mental health disorder in which a person appears sick or produces physical or mental illness. People with factitious disorder deliberately produce symptoms of an illness for the purpose of receiving care and attention in a medical setting.

You are in Mno way qualified to make a diagnosis like that and as such you are merely defaming.
Why is it always you females who come out against liberty? Seriously y’all want security at all costs and to hell with freedom! What is it, is it the sentimentality, the physical weakness and cowardice, inability to reason? You sure you’re in the correct website? This is a freedom-loving community. Rights are rights, and damn straight, I will walk over corpses to achieve mine.
No one is saying the unwell are weaklings. We are saying they are candidates for removal from this life by Darwinian selection. The strong survive and the weaker die. Happens to us all eventually. You wanna live forever or something? Kids like this weren’t made to survive. An allergy that deadly she won’t make 30.
Bill of rights to LIBERTY. That covers it, my friend. What I don’t see is a right not to die of natural causes like allergies.
