Scots teen with severe nut allergy nearly dies at 18th birthday dinner

A Scots teenager nearly died on her 18th birthday after suffering a severe allergic reaction while out for a celebratory lunch with her family. Eve Jenkinson was rushed to hospital after eating half a slice of bruschetta before immediately realising it may have contained traces of cashew nuts.

"We went from A&E to the ICU because she needed one-to-one monitoring. The next six-eight hours after the shock are critical. She was on oxygen all night. It was quite a traumatic experience. Eve doesn't really remember anything about it. "She ate half of one slice of bruschetta, and straight away she said she ate something she shouldn't have and tried to go and make herself sick. She took a couple of antihistamines, but I could see her lips were starting to swell so we gave her the EpiPen too and called 999.

"More and more nurses and doctors were getting called over and I was ushered away so they could work on her properly. It's natural that you start thinking the worst because we have lived with this for her whole life. The Labour councillor for Pentland Hills said: "Eve is getting ready to sit her final exams now and she wants to be a nurse, and that's always been her aspiration. She has been hospitalised quite a lot growing up with her asthma so I think that has had an impact.
