A few years ago the school that my sons attended (long after they had left) had a case where a 13YO boy died after eating peanut butter. He was on a reciprocal visit to another school, and a trivia game was being played - the 'penalty' for a wrong answer was to do something a bit silly and (normally) harmless. In his case it was to eat a spoonful of peanut butter, and for some reason he didn't say he was allergic to peanuts. His school and teachers knew of his allergy but somehow the fact had not been communicated to the school they were visiting.

A tragic mistake that should never have happened.
