Lifesaver, always carry an EpiPen.

My mother has a terrible allergy to almonds, peanuts, coconuts, etc. She once ate pesto not realizing it was made of nuts. She took one bite and immediately puked all over the table and was rushed to the ER. She was lucky that she didn't die. She took Benadryl which probably saved her life. The ER nurse told her to always carry an EpiPen because she really could have died. Now whenever she goes to any restaurant or facility, she calls in advance and requests a nut free menu due to her allergies.

Andy, I hope that you feel better.
