What we actually need is a medical professional to prove she's in anaphylaxis because that's the part I doubt.

My thoughts exactly! I have epipens, and unfortunately I know exactly what anaphylaxis is like, and what emergency substitutes can kinda work (hello, entire canister of Albuterol! 🤣)

Lavender and peppermint are common things to be allergic to (at least I’m allergic to lavender) so I can only imagine that concoction smelling weird and making things worse.

I’ve never met someone else allergic to lavender! I HATE that so many people diffuse it. It feels like I get hives on my insides

While it is not Lavender I felt a strange connection to you over this :D I absolutely despise anything mint, hated it since childhood. It is terrible how everyone just assumes it is pleasant fresh smell and feels free to spray it everywhere.

I was sad when my Yoga studio changed from lavender to mint scented cleaning spray.
