A 16 year old dies from milk allergy after eating pancakes at a small restaurant. It's tragic, but he had forgotten his epi-pen. This actually happened 2 years ago, but they now have filed a law suit. They had asked the waitress about the dairy and told her that the grill would also have to be cleaned before his pancake was cooked.
I have often thought that we should have an epi-pen, because we are not close to a hospital, but it takes a prescription. Do any of you have one?
My personal opinion is that if your child has this severe of an allergy, then you should not have them eat in any restaurant, let alone let them order a food item that typically has milk products in it. Also, don't leave it to the child to be responsible for carrying the pen. I would have one in every one of our cars and my purse.
