Girl, 12, dies from peanut allergy

Weekend funeral services were held in Georgia’s Coweta County for a 12-year-old girl who died of an allergic reaction to peanuts in a granola bar.

WSB TV reported that Amanda Huynh had taken a bite of a granola bar while on a school bus last Tuesday.

Her family said she had eaten such snacks before — and she was always careful to avoid peanuts. But this time she became ill.

She was rushed to a nearby school, where nurses treated her until an ambulance arrived. She died Thursday.
