How To Convince Someone A Peanut Allergy Isn't A Life Sentence.
My older sister says she hates her peanut allergy. What I don't understand is because of people like our Mom the world is safer for people like her. There are so many options for people to live a normal life without having to worry about having a reaction. All it takes is making smart choices.

(Only because our Mom nags her every year to get a prescription) A few of her friends and most of her family know about it and can administer if necessary. My concern is that when she isn't around anyone who knows and has a reaction what's going to happen. She stopped wearing her medic alert bracelet years ago. She thinks she's safe because she's never had a reaction she remembers. Has some sort of warped invincible attitude about it.
ooh, I feel your pain. how about saying something like this ' how would you feel reacting in front of us in a restaurant, leaving us unable to help you because you didnt bring your epi pen? if you love us as much as we love you, you would bring it and keep yourself safe'
