Edinburgh teen nearly dies on 18th birthday after severe allergic reaction

A teen in Edinburgh nearly died on her 18th birthday after she got a severe allergic reaction when dining out with family and had a dish that they suspect had traces of nuts in it.

The terrifying incident took place on Sunday, March 26 when the family of four were out for lunch to celebrate Eve Jenkinson's 18th birthday.

Eve suffered from Anaphylaxis which is a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction to a trigger such as an allergy. The medical emergency usually develops suddenly and gets worse very quickly.
