All I could think of reading this was being at a macadamia nut plantation in Hawaii and the BIG signs everywhere that peanuts were processed there. 

I would whip out an epi if I saw something like that happening.  Egads, the poor family.  sigh

I.  Can't.  Read.  Another.  Story like this.  It's like a knife through the heart, every time.

QuoteA stranger in the restaurant offered an Epi-Pen Jr. to her, and Robbins-Brinson administered it to Diallo, but the smaller dose contained in the device was not enough to stop the reaction, she said

It's nice that someone tried to help.
