When Hannah Glass decided to eat a homemade brownie, she hadn\u2019t known that days later, her parents would be picking up her cremated remains. The college student had always been cautious about her peanut allergy but there was something hidden in the sweet treat that killed her after only two bites.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Glass had turned 19 only two days before.<\/p>\n A community in Wisconsin is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Hannah Glass, a bright and compassionate freshman at Maranatha Baptist University who tragically lost her life due to an unexpected allergic reaction to a brownie.<\/p>\n On November 5, the young woman, who turned 19 two days before, had a violent reaction to a brownie she received from a friend. The\u00a0teenager\u00a0had a known allergy to peanuts, and was usually careful, but she was unaware the sweet treat reportedly contained roasted peanut flour, an ingredient used as a gluten-free alternative.<\/p>\n \u201cThe second bite, she knew something was wrong,\u201d Hannah\u2019s father, David Glass, told\u00a0WISN. The dad then explained her friend brought his daughter the brownie from a women\u2019s group on campus and while the treat was made with peanut flour to accommodate gluten-free students, it didn\u2019t consider those with severe peanut allergies.<\/p>\n \u201cWe believe because this product contained roasted peanut flour, separate from oily peanut butter, that masked this,\u201d continued David, who along with Hannah\u2019s mother, Janean, raced about 45 minutes from their home in Milton, Wisconsin, to the school residence in Watertown.<\/p>\n Hannah\u2019s reaction was aggressive and immediate. Her father shares that she had thrown up, welled up with hives, and managed to find some relief with Benadryl.<\/p>\n But when she crawled up to her top bunk to rest, her condition changed dramatically.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen Hannah rolled on her side, the anaphylaxis reaction that we had not seen before hit incredibly hard. This caused her to gasp for breath, leading to the collapsing of the lung, further exacerbating the situation,\u201d the grieving dad writes in the Facebook post that he shared November 11.<\/p>\n That was when Hannah climbed down the ladder from her bed and lost consciousness \u201cpart way down\u201d \u2013 before her EpiPen was administered.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI picked Hannah up\u2026and carried her outside to wait for the ambulance to arrive,\u201d the father penned. \u201cShe was completely unresponsive, and I was incredibly helpless.\u201d<\/p>\n Paramedics arrived and worked tirelessly to revive her, but Hannah\u2019s heart had stopped for four minutes. She was immediately rushed to Watertown Hospital, before being transferred to Froedtert Hospital, where she was placed on a ventilator.<\/p>\n Her family watched helplessly as doctors fought to save her\u00a0life, but the damage was severe.<\/p>\n \u201cThe majority of her brain was unmistakably, seriously, critically, and without the life-sustaining measures in place, TERMINALLY damaged,\u201d David writes om Facebook of the brain damage sustained after having several seizures, which led to \u201csevere brain swelling.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere were no conversations of quality of life or anything like that. This was only life and death!\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the tireless efforts of medical professionals, Hannah\u2019s brain suffered critical damage that left her without hope of recovery.<\/p>\n Before Hannah\u2019s final goodbye on November 10, 2024, she was honored with a traditional \u201cHonor Walk,\u201d a touching tribute as she was taken to the operating room for\u00a0organ\u00a0donation.<\/p>\n About 300 people lined the walls of the hallway for the walk, her family by her side until their \u201cfinal goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt seemed like an endless walk, yet it was also going too quickly,\u201d David shared.<\/p>\n \u201cWe went and picked up Hannah\u2019s cremated remains. It was and is a strange mix of emotions. There is still a strong sense of disbelief,\u201d David writes in a November 22, 2024 Facebook post. \u201cHaving now, this physical, tangible, memorial of her physical life and body is nice, in one sense, because we now have something to see and to \u2018hold on to,\u2019 but it is also very sad because this is certainly not the same relationship that we had before. But, then again, it is good to have her home.\u201d<\/p>\n Now her parents are reminding people with food allergies to \u201cAlways be aware. Make sure your EpiPens are up to date,\u201d David said.<\/p>\n Hannah\u2019s organs have already saved four people who desperately needed lifesaving transplants.<\/p>\n Hannah Glass\u2019s story is a poignant reminder of how fragile life can be and the importance of food allergy awareness. Her memory lives on not only through the lives she saved but in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Eye floaters are a common visual phenomenon that many people notice but often misunderstand. They can appear as tiny spots, threads, squiggly lines, or cobweb-like shapes drifting across your vision. Floaters become especially noticeable against bright backgrounds, such as a clear sky or a white wall, and they seem to move as your eyes move, often darting away when you try to focus on them. Some floaters stay in one place, while others drift around, and in some cases, people may also notice flashes of light,\u00a0<\/p>\n In fact, eye floaters are tiny bits of protein called collagen that float in the gel at the back of your eye, called the vitreous. As you get older, these fibers shrink and clump together, casting small shadows on your retina, or the floaters that you see.<\/p>\n The flashes of light that some people experience happen when the vitreous pulls on the retina.<\/p>\n These phenomena are most common at people aged 50 to 75, nearsighted people, or those who has had cataract surgery. While they are harmless most of the time, it\u2019s important to know when to check with a doctor.<\/p>\n In case the floaters and flashes are accompanied by vision loss it can be\u00a0a sign of more serious conditions\u00a0such as eye infections, inflammation (uveitis), retinal tears or detachment, vitreous haemorrhage, or migraines.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0Vision Center,\u00a0<\/em>eye floaters and flashes can be diagnosed by a medical professional through a dilated eye exam. During this exam, the doctor will apply eye drops in order to widen your pupils in order to check for eye floaters. If a diagnosis is set, the doctor will further provide you with a suitable treatment.<\/p>\n Some of the treatments include vitrectomy, an invasive surgery that can remove eye floaters from your line of vision through a small incision, and through laser therapy that helps reduce the floaters by breaking them down, according to\u00a0Healthline.\u00a0<\/em>The latter procedure isn\u2019t always recommended since it\u2019s still experimental.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget that the best way to keep your eyes and vision healthy are regular check-ups and being aware of potential symptoms that may be a sign of an underlying condition.<\/p>\n Please SHARE this article with your family and friends on Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When Hannah Glass decided to eat a homemade brownie, she hadn\u2019t known that days later, her parents would be picking up her cremated remains.
