Brittany Mahomes, co-owner of the Kansas City Current soccer team and wife of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, took to Instagram on Thursday to tell followers of her harrowing trip to the emergency room with their eight-month-old son, Bronze.
“We took a very scary and frantic trip to the ER yesterday after finding out this guy is highly highly allergic to peanuts,” she wrote. “The scariest 30 min of my life.”
Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, was born in November and has a two-year-old sister Sterling.
In a 2021 interview with Men’s Health, dad Patrick Mahomes told the magazine he had tested positive for allergy to most tree nuts.
Individuals diagnosed with food allergies must be vigilant in avoiding their trigger allergens, although there are treatments that can lessen or eliminate the danger of inadvertent exposure.
A recent study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice indicates that peanut oral immunotherapy, where increasing doses of peanut protein are ingested by the patient, is safe and effective for infants under 12 months of age.
Bronze likely suffered anaphylaxis, a severe, life-threatening reaction to a food, drug, insect venom or environmental substance. The only drug that can halt and reverse the progression of anaphylaxis is epinephrine.
It is likely that Ms Mahomes was prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector for her son to be used in case of exposure.
Individuals who are prescribed epinephrine should always carry two auto-injectors everywhere, every time and administer the first and call emergency services as soon as they suspect anaphylaxis.
Brittany Mahomes: Son Bronze’s ‘severe allergic reaction’ that led to ER visit was ‘one of the scariest experiences of my life’
Brittany Mahomes wants to raise awareness about severe food allergies in young children after her 1-year-old son, Bronze, was rushed to the hospital due to an undiscovered peanut allergy over the summer.
Mahomes called the incident “one of the scariest experiences of [her] life” and is now hoping to teach others “how to best respond” if they ever face a similar situation.
“Like all moms, my kids’ safety and happiness is my number one priority,” the 28-year-old captioned a video of her and her little ones on Instagram Wednesday.
“I recently received an outpouring of support from other moms and parents after sharing my experience with Bronze’s severe allergic reaction to peanuts.”
In the video, Brittany sat on a couch with her son, Bronze — whose full name is Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III — and daughter Sterling Skye, almost 3, whom she shares with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

“So I have an infant and a toddler both who have severe food allergies and I think it is very important to raise awareness of what a severe reaction may look like if it was to happen to a child,” she said in the video partnership with AUVI-Q, an epinephrine injection used to treat allergic reactions in infants and toddlers.
“Based on my experience, I can tell you that a severe reaction may not look how you think it should look,” the mother of two continued.
Although Brittany didn’t elaborate on Bronze’s exact reaction, she noted that they immediately saw their son’s pediatrician to get medication for any future incidents.

“The safety of your child is your upmost important thing when you are out and about,” she added, noting that it’s “very important to educate everyone on how to use” the injectors in case of an emergency.
The Kansas City Current co-owner revealed to her Instagram followers in August that they had to rush their youngest to the ER after learning he is “highly highly allergic to peanuts.”
“We took a very scary and frantic trip to the ER yesterday,” she captioned a photo of Bronze sipping on a bottle.
“The scariest 30 mins of my life,” she added.
