I'm in utter shock.
DH is severely allergic to egg (amongst other things). He won't eat in restaurants and is very careful about what he eats, but has been happy to eat pre packed sandwiches from supermarkets etc as they have all ingredients listed.
Today he bought a pre packed baguette from a well known high street bakery. It was sealed and labelled 'no mayo'. Two thirds of the way in he bit into a huge blob of mayonnaise. He freaked out, spat it out and rinsed his mouth thoroughly which is what saved him. His lips and tongue swelled up and the ambulance and a and e staff said it was only his presence of mind that limited the exposure and therefore the severity of the attack.
Wtf? I mean what the actual fuck. He could have died. He could have choked to fucking death on his own swollen tongue or suffocated by a swelling windpipe if he had swallowed it. I feel sick at how close we came to my babies not having a father just because some utter dick didn't realise the implication of cross contamination.
I am beyond furious and can't see straight.
