Bah, just epi penned dd. She ate a cashew at school, got immediate itchy tongue and stomach ache, which is what has happened in the past with trace pecans/walnuts that have snuck into her food. The allergist felt those were topical reactions only. However, then her face swelled and her nose started running. She took a benadryl at school and after watching her here at home for 20 minutes, as her stuffy nose waxed and waned and her cheeks got red, then not, then red again, and her tongue started to swell, just decided to give her an epi. That's the first time we've ever had to in 16 years of dealing with this.
What possessed her to eat an entire cashew I have no idea (well, teenager invincibility I guess.) She has not eaten a whole nut, well, ever, outside of her PN challenges.
Dh just took her to the ER, mostly just to monitor her. I think she'll be fine.
I'm kind of glad it happened. She goes to college next year and I need her to take her allergies seriously. This is the first big reaction she's had in her memory.
Bah.
