A teenager with a nut allergy had to spend her 18th birthday in hospital after eating chicken tikka masala from a local takeaway. Eleanor Lincoln went into anaphylactic shock and struggled to breathe.
She was sick, which her mum Bridie believes saved her life. And she warned others with allergies against becoming "complacent" when ordering food made by others.
As reported by Chronicle Live, the frightening incident episode occurred last March after Eleanor ate a curry from Khan's restaurant in Heaton, Newcastle. A worker at the restaurant was later fined over a breach of food hygiene regulations.
