Rita, guilt will not help you, it will only hurt you and your son. I
think all of us with allergic children carry a weight on our shoulders
every day that is heavy enough. Don't add to your burden over this
incident.
We all look for things to make our days easier. We all try to support
family businesses and still keep our children (and ourselves safe).
Sometimes we miss the mark. Unfortunately, we are not perfect and
neither is our world.
Grow from the experience. Reaffirm your commitments and convictions,
and go forward with your head held high and free of guilt.
