So my sister almost died from drinking Jamba Juice...

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>She had a severe asthma attack at the aquarium because she drank Jamba Juice. She's allergic to milk and apparently smoothies have milk.</p>

<p>/:</p>

2

<p>damn. Sue them?</p>

<p>Sorry for what happened.</p>

<p>Has this ever happened before?</p>

3

<p>They have small amounts of milk, probably</p>

<p>She chose to drink that Jamba juice, knowingly or not that it had milk in it. no use in suing lol</p>

4

<p>How the hell did she not know that smoothie drinks have milk in them?</p>

5

<p>Jamba juice <333</p>

6

<p>Nah. We’re just going to write a letter telling them to label their products more clearly. </p>

<p>It was at one of those kiosk things so there wasn’t any nutritional information available. But she said she just figured it was juice since it was called “Jamba Juice.”</p>

7

<p>They didn’t make a claim saying that they’re dairy free, why sue?</p>

8

<p>I wasn’t being serious</p>

<p>though it may not have been as obvious as I wanted it to be.</p>

9

<p>she doesn’t ask when she gets things? smoothies usually have yoghurt in them, i think…</p>

<p>i’m vegetarian (but i don’t really consume diary either) and i ask EVERYWHERE no matter where i am. although i’m not trying to blame her or anything, when you have extreme allergies or dietary needs you should be a little cautious. that really sucks. back when i ate meat i had a reaction like that to shrimp, that throat-closing feeling is probably one of the scariest in the world.</p>

10

<p>That’s very interesting that she is allergic to the milk! was she always like that? </p>

<p>I’m glad she’s ok.</p>

11

<p>^^
She usually does. I guess she was either really thirsty or really excited to get to try Jamba Juice.</p>

<p>^
Yeah, this is like the fifth time. She’s extremely allergic to milk, nuts, eggs, and seafood.</p>

12

<p>They have those “all fruit” smoothies she might want to try.</p>

13

<p>It was a kiosk. They had two drinks available without any labels at all except for price.</p>

14

<p>Are your parents by any chance hypochondriacs (or is your house unusually sterile?). The hygiene hypothesis suggests that allergies like the ones you’re sister experiences arise from a lack of gut flora during development.</p>

15

<p>No, but I’m a hypochondriac. :P</p>

<p>The doctors said it might be because my mom was 40 when she gave birth to my sister.</p>

16

<p>Lol at the mindset of suing whenever something goes wrong…</p>
