Each brothers have extreme tree nut allergy symptoms however had no thought the principle ingredient in pesto is floor pine nuts. In keeping with JJ, after visiting the Pantheon, the brothers went for lunch, and TJ ate a “large” pesto dish and actually stopped respiratory on the desk.

Though TJ had been prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector on the time, JJ claims he refused to hold it. Because of this, TJ might have died in Italy if his brothers hadn’t gotten him to a hospital in time.
Please take a lesson from the Watt Brothers: If you happen to’ve been prescribed epinephrine, you should definitely take two auto-injectors alongside in every single place, each time, and you should definitely administer the primary while you first suspect anaphylaxis.
Keep in mind, epinephrine can save your life in an anaphylactic emergency if administered quickly after the onset of signs, however it could possibly’t save your life should you’ve left it at residence or on the pharmacy.
