University student who had a fatal allergic reaction after a brownie her friend gave her

A college student in Wisconsin died after suffering an allergic reaction to the brownie his friend gave him.

Maranatha Baptist University freshman Hannah Glass suffered a fatal allergic reaction to a brownie that reportedly contained roasted peanut flour.

After a few bites, the 19-year-old realized something was wrong. Although Benadryl seemed to help the situation, ‘things changed dramatically after lying down for a few seconds,’ his father said. WISN.

‘When we look back, we see that the right lung collapsed at this point,’ he said.

Glass had been given the brownie, a flour substitute for gluten-free students, by a friend from a women’s group on campus.

Glass vomited and had a rash, but was still able to breathe and speak clearly while on the phone with his family, according to a post on Facebook.

Once her symptoms calmed down after taking Benadryl, she laid down on her stomach.

When Glass tried to stand up, he fell into a fetal position and complained of extreme shortness of breath.

He climbed down the stairs from his bed and lost consciousness before being given an EpiPen.

When paramedics arrived, they tried to resuscitate him and the teenager’s heart stopped for four minutes.

He was then taken to Watertown Hospital before being transferred to Froedtert Hospital for further treatment.

During his transfer, he suffered a seizure, suffered ‘severe brain swelling’ and was placed on a ventilator.

‘A large portion of his brain was unmistakably in a serious, critical condition and without life-sustaining measures he was TERMINALLY damaged,’ his family wrote on Facebook.

‘At this point there was no real decision to make other than we decided to donate his body to help others have the chance at life they no longer had.

‘And to prevent other parents or loved ones from having to endure the torture we experienced last week.

‘The events of the last few days have created a mountain in my mind. It was so emotional, so surreal and so physically draining that it felt like I couldn’t even look past them and see what had happened the week before.’

Glass's family made the difficult decision to donate her body to help others who had suffered the same fate as their daughter, and she was paraded in a 'Pride Parade' before she could perform life-saving organ transplants on four people.
