Parents need to be informed and take any food allergy seriously. If my son's death can save one life, then I feel we have done some good.

All I knew is my son was supposed to stay away from tree nuts. But we were not in the habit of reading food labels. We also didn't think of the food allergy in terms of life and death.

Someone asked, ?Do you need an ambulance?' and he said yes. He collapsed, and never came to.

Now I know you can have a slight reaction one time, and then the next time, it can deadly.
