CABIN ATTENDANT RPT; B767-300; ORD-BHX. WOMAN HAD SEVERE ALLERGY ATTACK FROM PEANUT DUST IN AIR. MEDICAL EMER; DIVERT CYQM; TIRES BLOWN ON LNDG.

Narrative

A PAX HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO PEANUT 'DUST' IN THE CABIN. THE PAX TOOK A DOSE OF HER OWN EPINEPHRINE; BUT RECIRCULATED AIR CAUSED ANOTHER REACTION AND THERE WASN'T A QUALIFIED PERSON ONBOARD TO ADMINISTER EPINEPHRINE. THE PLANE LANDED AND MEDICAL PERSONNEL TOOK THE PAX OFF THE AIRPLANE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THAT THE EPINEPHRINE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THE WOMAN WAS IN THE MEDICAL KIT; BUT NO QUALIFIED PERSON (DOCTOR; NURSE) WAS ONBOARD TO OPEN THE KIT AND GIVE IT TO HER. THE PLTS DIVERTED THE PLANE IMMEDIATELY TO CYQM; WITHOUT DUMPING FUEL. THEY LANDED HVY AND BLEW QUITE A FEW TIRES ON LNDG. THE PARAMEDICS SAID THAT MAKING THE DECISION TO LAND IMMEDIATELY PROBABLY SAVED HER LIFE. THE PAX AND CREW HAD TO WAIT AROUND 3 HRS FOR ANOTHER PLANE TO BE BROUGHT IN; BUT THE WOMAN STAYED THERE AT A LCL HOSPITAL. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 486071: THE ONLY MEDICAL PERSON ONBOARD WAS A BRITISH EMT. SHE COULD DO NOTHING TO HELP HER EITHER. I HAD ALREADY PUT HER ON OUR OXYGEN. THE OTHER AIRWAY WAS CLOSING OFF FAST. THE EMT'S THAT CAME ON GAVE HER ANOTHER SHOT OF EPINEPHRINE AND ALSO PUT HER ON AIR. THEY SAID THE RECIRCULATED CABIN AIR WAS KEEPING HER FROM BREATHING. OUR ACFT HAS EPINEPHRINE ONBOARD; BUT CANNOT BE GIVEN BY AN EMT. WE LANDED AND SHE WAS TAKEN OFF; THEN THE TIRES BLEW (4) AND WE HAD TO GET ALL PAX OFF THE ACFT AND AWAY FROM IT. THIS WAS TOLD TO US BY THE CAPT AND A FIREFIGHTER. I ALSO TOLD THE AIRLINE TO GET RID OF THE PEANUTS AND GO TO ANOTHER SNACK ITEM.
