@OP: Get over yourself. They probably did have an epi pen. Doesn't mean they want someone to use it to stop a seizure.
You sound like a douchebag. "[P]art of having an allergy" is taking necessary precautions so that aren't triggered so that they don't "make everyone else" deal with their allergic reaction.
My son had a severe peanut allergy. We fly JetBlue because they are the best in terms of accommodating. They allow you to board early to wipe down the seats and will notify the people around you. They also never serve peanuts so you don't have to worry about that. They have nut free chocolate chip cookies too for the kids.
As I understand it severe nut allergies could respond to particles in the air and be life threatening
Why do all these people have to be from Deloitte? 🙄 This has nothing to do with being a special millennial ❄️.
Assuming this person legitimately has an allergy, it can be triggered by less than nuts stuffed down their throats. Having had friends with severe allergies, they could have seizures from touching surfaces that came into contact with peanut oils.
He probably does have an epipen... but would prefer to not use it. I'm sure he appreciates your sacrifice too
Who needs handicap ramps AMIRITE?!
As a person with a severe food allergy, an epipen only holds you over until you go to the hospital, if your reaction is bad enough an epipen might not even help...
Wow OP is a total inconsiderate douche
OP is a total asshole.
Then their allergy is not as severe and they weighed the advantages of not being exposed vs inconveniencing the plane. Use your head...
OP. Food allergies are not binary (very few things in the biological world are). Get it yet?
Severely allergic people can go into anaphylaxis even (and potentially die, even with an epi pen which is costly as shit FYI) if the allergen is in the vicinity. Don't be a dick for a bag of peanuts. Also biscoff rules!!
And just having an epipen doesn't make it safe, if it saves a person from almost dying I'm glad they wouldn't serve nuts.
This post is SO Deloitte
Wow EY1, you're an embarrassment of the human species.
I used to say stuff like this, then became close friends with someone who has a nut allergy...now I feel bad for ever complaining about changing a little thing to literally prevent someone from dying. I know she is embarrassed when she has to tell FAs about it too.
Epi pens give you time to get to a hospital. They don't fix the issue. You can get multiple epi pen shots and still not survive.
I am that person on the plane with a severe peanut allergy. I carry around 2 epi pens at all times because one isn't enough. Yes, I've used them before, and it's not so pleasant jabbing a thick needle into your thigh (but when the alternative is dying because you can feel your air passageways closing up by the second, I'll take the needles). Epi pens are simply a measure to give you enough time to get to the hospital (which is why some people need multiple to buy some more time). Do I feel bad that you're not being served peanuts on the plane? Absolutely. But if they serve it, those peanut particles are in the air, and I've seen people stuff the wrappers into the magazine holders. If I go into anaphylactic shock on the plane, it's going to cause even more of a delay and inconvenience you further. So we'd all rather that not happen.
There's no way to tell how well the plane was cleaned of peanut particles before this person boarded. The previous flight could have been full of people rubbing peanuts over every surface.
@EY1 @OP -you think your enjoyment of some peanuts is worth someone having to take a trip to the hospital?
Cmon ppl. Be human.
