The death of a Virginia first grader has raised questions about how schools should handle severe allergies.
Ammaria Johnson, 7, died Monday after suffering an allergic reaction during recess at her Chesterfield County elementary school, Hopkins Elementary.

And Wicomico county doesn't want an RN overseeing school nurses, and wants to put CNAs in schools. Is everyone familiar with what a CNA can and can not do? Look into it. Prayers go out to this family. Can anyone point me in the direction of the research on the causes of such severe allergies?
