0:59Now PlayingA UK passenger with a deadly peanut allergy thought she’d die after two airlines handed out peanuts on a 14-hour journey — despite her notifying them of her allergy in advance.
“I was petrified,” Amy Pearson, 25, told Kennedy News of the frightening incident, which occurred last month while she was flying to see her sister Molly Pearson, 24, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. “I sat still the whole time. I didn’t want to touch anything and didn’t use the toilet.”
The Lincolnshire native allegedly suffers from a severe airborne nut allergy, which could cause her to go into anaphylactic shock — a life-threatening allergic reaction — if exposed. She reportedly carries an Epi-pen wherever she goes.
As a result, the geography teacher had to inform airlines of her condition before flying, claiming that most agreed not to serve nuts while she was aboard.
Pearson said that ahead of her latest flight, her travel agent informed Qatar Airways — her carrier during the first leg of the journey from the UK to Qatar — of her condition and she was given the green light to fly.
