Peanut allergy lands Alexander Kerfoot in Sweden hospital

Alexander Kerfoot is allergic to nuts, and Wednesday afternoon, while waiting for his iPhone to be fixed in Stockholm, Sweden, he killed some time at a local coffee shop. Kerfoot ordered a food item that he made sure with a clerk had no nuts in it.
