7 Year Old Girl Dies of Peanut Allergy at School

A 7 year old girl died in a Virginia school of an allergic reaction to peanuts. The child complained of shortness of breath and broke-out in hives shortly before being taken to the school nurse, but the school did not have the medication present to treat her. Emergency responders were called but this aid was too late. Maria Acebal, head of the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network said, "It is just proper education, how to recognize it, and how to treat it." This tragic event has sparked debate about how prepared our schools are in preventing these kinds of tragedies.
