It is important to have immediate access to an EpiPen, which can be life-saving in a situation like this one. See article below about a little girl in Virginia who died at school earlier this week, after ingesting a peanut containing food and not having early treatment with epinephrine. Very sad to see such a preventable situation happen. Please be careful and make sure your food allergic child's EpiPen is current and available at all times!
