Her family says the teenager experienced an allergic reaction to a cookie containing nuts.
Arianna Varghese described a terrifying night shortly after her junior prom began last Friday, at Half Hollow Hills High School West in Dix Hills.A teenager experienced a close call at her junior prom after she had an allergic reaction to a cookie containing nuts, her family says.
Arianna, who's had a peanut and tree nut allergy her whole life, bit into a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie at that school event and moments later, began throwing up and feeling like she was going into anaphylactic shock. "I said this is an anaphylactic shock," father Daniel Varghese said. "She takes it from my hand, then injects it into Ari."
But the Varghese family believes the school officials were far more preoccupied with doubt about what Arianna might not be telling them instead of what she was telling them.
