Epi pens only buy time to get to a hospital. As someone who does have an allergy, I had a close call because of traffic delaying the rush to the ER.

This guy deserved his sentence as he was willfully negligent.

“This guy deserved his sentence as he was willfully negligent.”

Not denying that in this case. BUT it’s equally negligent/risky to eat commercially made food if you are that intensely allergic.

Even if nobody intentionally adds nuts, a tiny crumb would have eventually found its way into his food and killed him. Or staff can make a mistake, or something can be mislabeled, etc, etc, etc. Even in restaurants that don’t use nuts, a worker can bring in a crumb from home.

Restaurants are not sterile ‘clean rooms’ and eating out with such an allergy is a deadly risk. You are putting your life in the hands of tired minimum wage workers
