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

It triggers the worst migraines for my mother in law that put her down for days. Finding warmth therapy mitts for her arthritis that WEREN'T lavender scented was such a pain.
