Brutally tragic teen food allergy death in Loganville, GA–this is just wrong! We need a cure!

You are here: Home / Allergy Deaths / Brutally tragic teen food allergy death in Loganville, GA–this is just wrong! We need a cure!

August 19, 2011 By //  by Caroline Moassessi Leave a Comment

Oh this is just brutal. Plain brutal.  The following story is regarding a teen who died on Wednesday from a food allergy action to a bite from a cookie in Walmart.  I do have questions and I am sure more information will surface:  was he carrying an Epi Pen at the time?  Why did he eat a cookie Walmart?  Was it an accident in label reading?  Was the cookie mislabeled?  I have many questions as I want to personally understand and learn from this horrific event.  I want to learn, share and insure my kids don’t make this kind of mistake.  This is my fear.  I want their mistakes to be about love, life and homework!
My heart, prayers and thoughts go out to this young man’s family.  It’s just brutal.  We all have lost one of our food allergic family tribe members this week.
Teen death in Loganville, GA
 

UPDATE:  The article below explains that he did a eat cookie without label reading (or possibly recipe checking) and was not carrying an Epi Pen!

The Lesson to us:  no matter what, read the label and always carry!!!!
