Peanut allergies are actually one of the worst allergies one can have. I knew somebody once who began to swell up with hives when she picked up her daughters from the lady that watched them while she was at work. The lady had made cookies with the girls...peanut butter cookies. Just being touched, after handwashing, etc., was enough to send this woman to the ER. That was the first time I realized one could be *that* allergic to a food product.
Once the airway swells shut, it's pretty much game over.
She's dead and her boyfriend just lost all chance of turning out normally. I wonder how many fights he's been in at high school already?
Appreciating the morbid humor of it is pretty normal, though. There's just nowhere else to go with a story like this.
