Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Elvis Duran in the Morning Show. You know food allergies,
You know, we all all of us know someone who
is affected by food allergies. If not, you maybe are
affected by it. I know Alex, my husband. You know,
he's allergic to some shellfish, shrimp, lab shrimp, lobster, crab,
those three. It used to be, but he is now.

(00:26):
And we were in Asia recently and we didn't want to.
I didn't want to eat any of the street food,
which I love, by the way, because I don't know
how they are about cross contamination and how it's prepared whatever.
So when you go to some restaurants, they're very, very
very careful about cross contamination. They ask you when you
sit down, any food allergies this and that. We have
to that's how we live. I know that God in

(00:49):
food allergies. Here in the room, I will look Garrett yep,
juliak yeah, dits a million exactly. Sometimes I think she's kind.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Of I'm not one hundred percent convinced over there with that.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Oh here we go, Well I.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Should not, but we don't know, so we should not
doubt her. Yeah, but Uh, it is a serious thing,
you know. And I remember when I was a kid.
I don't remember any of my friends having food allergies.
And how it has evolved. I you know, there's a
million different theories, but it's different now. You get on
an airplane, if someone's deathly allergic to peanuts, then okay,

(01:28):
let's all give up peanuts for a couple hours. I
think we can do that for them. Listen, let's let
this passenger live. You know, don't do a fit because
you can't heavy peanuts because this person's allergic, well they
could die. You got to take it seriously. So anyway,
Daniel Delello is on the line, you know, which we
love our Daniel DeLillo. How are you doing to Daniel DeLillo?

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Hey, you're doing every sign.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
So we wanted to get you on the folks, I
know that you as far as food allergies go, you
had an incident that happened with your godson, right, yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Carter went to a baseball game on Friday. They went
to a food vendor. He got a vanilla shake and
they had to use the EpiPen on him and rushing
to the hospital.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
What's allergic to?

Speaker 3 (02:13):
He is allergic to soy. He's allergic to tree nuts,
pine nuts, coconut, sesame, I mean, a whole slue, a
lot of stuff, well just not nuts, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Well, so that you said he got a shake, he
drank a shake or something like that. So does it
say they're on the sign these things? Are these are
ingredients or do they tell you guys that you gotta
be careful about what happened?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
It's around the stadium, but I didn't. I mean, I'm
not sure if it was posted up by the food vendor.
But recently they went to a game, maybe a month
or so ago, and he had a sip and he
was fine. So they're thinking it was crossed contaminy. So
it's it's important to really stay safe and wash your

(03:04):
hands and don't use the same spoon that you're using
for another thing. You know.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I know that happened to Alex with his lobster. Remember
I told you that it was an easter. His mother
put a piece of lobster on his plate. He says, ma,
I'm allergic. She took it off his plate. He continued eating,
and that little lobster was only on there for like
a minute or a second, and he blew up. You know,
it's from something that easy. And then he used his
phone later and it had lobster on it and he

(03:29):
blew up again. And then his mother kissed him on
the forehead while he was in the hospital and he
blew up again because she had lobster on her lips.
It's like, it depends on I don't know. So your
point in your email you sent to me about your
godside is not enough people take it seriously enough.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Right, yeah, exactly. And I was on a plane recently too,
and they announced that there was a panadalogy and the
guy in front of me, he was like, Eh, I
forget about it. I'm gonna eat them nuts anyway. I'm like,
you don't know how to beere. This allergy is don't
do that, you know. So people need to really take
it seriously. And I don't think people take it seriously enough.

(04:09):
And and that's why I sent you a note, because
you reached so many people, and it's just important to
pay attention and take care. I feel like people don't
care enough, and we just need to care, you know.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
So you know, our own Deana is allergic to peanuts.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
They made it.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
She she went to catch a plane and told them
that she has a peanut allergy, and so she had
to board with everyone like in the disability section. Like
she like say, I don't know, I just like what
I mean? What anyway? Well does she That's what she
said she had She had to board with people who

(04:49):
had you know, the the wheelchairs and this and that,
who need they need to get on early because it
takes a little time to get on board, and of
course scary as like, what, it's quite good to go
on board first. Yeah, what a great idea.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
You know, I'm on a board first.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
So I have a peanut allergy coming through. Oh scary, okay, I.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
When he starts chowing down on those peanuts, what are
you gonna.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Do is he'll forget? You know, he'll forget?

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh yeah, why do you say things like that?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Okay, it's unhooked that microphone anyway? Scary. So you're right, though,
people do need to take it seriously, and they don't
until someone they know is affected by it. Then all
of a sudden, Okay, they take it seriously. So anyway,
so how's your godson doing now? Is he Okay?

Speaker 3 (05:39):
He's doing much better. They had him on a seventy
two hour steroid. He's in the hospital until about six
in the morning. I left the ballpark probably around like
eight o'clock, so he was there for a long time
and then and he was getting oxygen and hailers and everything.
So you know, it's a life or death honestly, like

(06:01):
can't you can't fool around with that stuff. And that's
why I just wanted to talk to you all and
the listeners, just to make sure everyone just stays on
top of like cross contamination. And when we spoke to
the ballpark, because I wrote a note and they called
me back and they said they're absolutely going to take
care of it. They're going to have training again about

(06:24):
food safety and everything. So I'm so appreciative that they
got back to me immediately and that they're talking to
the staff again because they do training often, but they're
going to do another one this week, so I'm happy
about that.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
All right, Well good, I'm glad it turned out okay,
But you're right, awareness is so important and taking it
seriously and not trying to brush it off like it's
like I'll get off h really okay, wrong, anyway, Thank you, Danielle.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
We love you, thank you, and please everybody go to
food allergy dot org and learn a lot little bit
about it. Thirty three million people have allergies and and
every ten seconds someone's rushed to the hospital. So let's
let's try to keep that number level.

Speaker 2 (07:08):

Speaker 1 (07:12):
When we were in the show for the weekend, they
asked before they sat you at any table, they asked
about analogy. When they got to the table, they asked
somebody else asked you if you had any allergies. And
then one more time before they served you, they asked
you if you had any allergies.
