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'm Bill, look, Garrett, yep, juliak, Yeah.
Diavon has 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 2 (01:02):
Oh, here we go, but I 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

(01:25):
allergic to peanuts, then okay, 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 DeLillo is on the line,
you know, which we love our Daniel DeLillo. How are

(01:45):
you doing to Daniel DeLillo?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
You do every 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 4 (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 4 (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, 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 4 (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, right.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
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 else to via 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. And I and that's why I sent you

(04:11):
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.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
You know. You know, our own Deana is allergic to peanuts.
They made 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

(04:41):
what I mean? What anyway? Well does she's That's what
she said. She had she had to board with people
who had you know, then 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 you to
good on board first? Yeah, what a great idea. You know,

(05:05):
I'm on a board first, so I have a pot
allergy coming through? Oh scary, okay, I know what. He
started showing down on those peanuts. What are you gonna
do because he'll forget, you know, he'll forget.

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

Speaker 2 (05:18):
That, because 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 4 (05:39):
He's doing much better. They had him on a seventy
two hour steroid. It'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 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 pain. Really okay, wrong, anyway, Thank you, Danielle,
thanks for spending time with us.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
We love you, thank you, and please everybody go to
food allergy dot org and learn a little litle 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):
Okay, all right, excellent, excellent, thank you, and have a
beautiful day.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
We were 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.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
They are that's called exactly cover your ass, is what
that's called. They want to make they want to make
sure you're safe. At the same time, they don't want
to be sued, and so okay, fine, ask me as
