It sounds like it was an airborne reaction?

Hi...this is very local to me.  what I saw on the news indicated an airborne reaction
my understanding is that the student called her parents and they administered the epi

I'm always leary to comment until the facts come out and what I saw reported locally didn't give a clear picture, but I know people locally who are in touch with the parents and the school/district and IF what I heard/read is true it goes against so many of state and local policies.
