Michelle Woods has credited her young boys and good Samiratans who helped save her life when she went into anaphylactic shock while driving. The boys managed to flag down a man running with his dog to give his mum an epipen.
An Auckland mum says her young son is "a hero" after he helped save her life when she had an anaphylactic reaction.
Michelle Woods was driving her sons, Mylo, 8, and Leo, 4, down Dobell Rd in Stanmore Bay on Friday evening when she began developing severe allergic symptoms.
Butquick-thinking Mylo sprang into action and made sure his mum received the medical attention she needed.
She believes eating a dairy-free sorbet, bought from an ice cream parlour, that had been contaminated with milk was the cause of the reaction.
Miss Woods bought three sorbets, one for each of them.
