When a music teacher where my daughter takes flute lessons sweetly gave a toddler a cookie this past week, I thought nothing of it. But when the child started having difficulty breathing, the babysitter in charge of him went into a panic. The little boy was allergic to peanuts, and the cookie had them. Luckily, she had an epi-pen, and the boy was fine, but the scare has changed me for life! Food allergies in kids is on the increase, and I now better understand how parents must be watchdogs for their kids until the are old enough to do so on their own.
