Ciara said her daughter's airborne allergy is a matter of 'life or death'
A mum from Northern Ireland has spoken out after her daughter's nut allergy scare on a recent flight.
"It was only by pure chance, the chicken curry was sitting on the trolley and I could see it from where I was sitting. When she got closer, I told another cabin crew member my daughter has airborne allergies, I said they couldn't sell the curry as she can't be near nuts or coconuts. It clearly stated on the front of the box it had coconut milk in it.
Ciara said she reached out to Ryanair on Twitter after the incident, to highlight the issue to them as "it's clear some of the cabin crew don't have the training." But she was shocked by the "ridiculous" response she received to her direct messages. A disgruntled Ciara replied saying before he responds in a "foolish matter," the staff member should educate himself on the dangers of airborne allergy and anaphylactic shock. In response, he said: "I'm literate enough to know what an anaphylactic shock is, that's why I assume a passenger eating whatever thing with coconut 15 rows behind you is not likely to affect your daughter.
"Abbie has had reactions in the past, once in the back of the car just because a bun had been sitting beside another that had coconut, there was no coconut in that bun, it had just happened to be sitting beside it.
