A few weeks ago, we discovered in rather dramatic fashion, that the Little Lady has a very severe allergy to cashew (and pistachio) nuts, as well as a milder reaction to several other tree nuts. This happened while we were in Florida, and I confess we really hadn't made an emergency plan. Fortunately, things worked out and we were in a context where we basically knew what to do. But when traveling internationally, it's important to have a plan in place before you go. And for us, that has gotten even more important. I'll tell you what happened and how we've planned for the worst when we go to Peru for field work this summer.
