My close friend is dangerously allergic to peanuts. One of his cousins who was this braindead fitness obsessed type of guy. A total muscle head. He had brought a humongous bag of peanuts to a party we all attended. We spotted the bag and told him to not open it and leave it in his backpack at the door. He grumbled and made some passive aggressive comments that it's a free country. He had known of my friend's allergy but had his own childish theory. He often said "You're just afraid of them". He snuck away a short while after the party started and nobody noticed him putting a bunch of them in a dark bottle of beer. He handed to his cousin. Not one minute later after taking his first sips, he was on the floor gasping for air. The muscle head was just standing there laughing and just grabbed his bag to continue eating them while the rest of us got the epinephrine and calked an ambulance. This all ended with his cousin being arrested for attempted manslaughter and bodily harm. The meat head's parents disowned him and threw his then homeless butt out of their house after his short prison sentence. He still claims to be innocent and that my friend was faking it the entire time.
Well of course the meathead says that. Why would he want to live with the fact that he came close to murdering someone? He has to make it other people's fault if he doesn't want bad thoughts haunting him for the rest of his life.
How TF is someone "afraid" of peanuts?
@@tangentyoung5633traumatized from past experiences.
You’d be surprised what the brain attaches to bad stuff.
@@tangentyoung5633 Fear doesn't always follow a logical path. That's why we classify some phobias as illogical.
The actual fear of peanuts is lumped in with other nuts and is called Gyaliaphobia.
The fear of peanut butter is called Arachibutyrophobia
While my school system wasn’t the best (hopefully it is better now, graduated in 2011) they did take allergies seriously. One student was so severely allergic to peanuts that just being in the room with some could cause a mild reaction. So imagine how much worse it would have been had they actually come into contact with them. As a result the district put a ban on peanuts and peanut products in the schools while the student attended. When they graduated the ban was lifted.
If an adult tells you that they are allergic to something, and you think they just "don't like" that something, what right do you have to "prove that they are lying"?
None.
That’s basic kindness.
I can’t eat a ton of foods because of how it freaks my senses out, but i always try to respect people’s allergies and preferences.
Like the first person to reply said,None. If they don't like it,they don't like it,and that's that.😊
You'd be surprised at how far some depraved, entitled people will go to defend "rights" they claim to have that have never existed for anyone, ever.
Some people's dark sense of humor goes to far. Those people make my racial jokes look mild (my daughter is biracial and is far worse with racial jokes than me. Will admit her jokes are way funnier than mine)
The same with children. Story 4 is proof that people will murk children in the same way because [insert unhinged reasons].
I have celiac, which means my immune system goes insane if I eat anything with gluten.
In kindergarten, there was this lady who acted like making me adhere to her idea of "normal" was a personal task or something.
On field day, we were in the middle of the woods at lunchtime, when she revealed that she threw away my food and replaced it with a sandwich. The other adults couldn't do anything at this point so I had the choice of being a "choosy brat", or eating my sandwich like a normal kid. I was too hungry to think of future consequences
On the plus side, poisoning me put that woman over a line where the principal could finally fire her. As bullying kids for using the wrong toys wasn't enough
Was she blacklisted afterwards, because if not, society is a failure
@@CamdenakaNeptunesdaughter1213 I don't know as it happened over 20 years ago and we moved to a different country in the meantime. However, government run things in that country is know to run on personal relationships, which may explain why the kindergarten leadership couldn't fire her until she made someone sick
@@v3ru586then it looks like society failed to keep kids safe.
What is humanity coming to?
@@CamdenakaNeptunesdaughter1213 don't worry, it's *just* some countries.
In the country I live now, people like this get mandatory training for the initial issues (punishment for behaviour that doesn't fit her world view), or an occupational ban if they end up endangering children (making kids eat allergens). Unfortunately, it isn't foolproof, if everyone agrees that the symptoms are caused by an infection, you're screwed.
@@v3ru586I think it should be both national and international law for people to undergo allergy treatment training
I don’t understand the thought process behind the logic of these people: best case scenario, you get bragging rights. Worst case scenario, someone you know/love might die and it would be entirely your fault.
You seem to assume these people are normal and not sociopaths/psychopaths. Some people are incapable of love and thus care IMMENCLY for social credit with others.
Or care more about being right than how it might impact their loved ones if they're wrong
Well, call up my elementary school and ask every teacher who tested my allergies.
@@MeepChangeling I think most of them are just really stupid
Your mistake is to assume that they have any thoughts to begin with, let alone anything as complex as a process.
I'm allergic to Spinach like my mom, I've had "Friends" who think it's impossible to be allergic to salad greens and have tested it by mixing stuff in my food. After a few hours in the hospital they finally realized you can in fact, be allergic to salad greens...
People don't understand that you can be allergic to just about anything. Especially food and plants.
@@gurglequeen433People just can't wrap their heads around the idea that you can be allergic to the sun and water too. Hell, even "air" is bad due to what can be in it
Omg I would never do that even if I thought someone was just being a baby and not wanting leafy greens I rather just let it go than accidentally kill someone because I never heard of such an allergy my sister is allergic to strawberries my eldest niece milk and my step nephew is allergic to tree nuts I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I used stuff that could hurt them
@@girl1213 Oh yeah, I have a friend who is allergic to sunlight, and mosquito bites, and strawberries, and tomatoes, and the skin of cucumbers, not the flesh just the skin, and potentially other things I've forgot
Similar problem here but with paprika (doesnt matter if its raw, cooked or in spice form)
Most people belive it when it comes to raw and cooked, but for some reason dont get it in their head that the spice 'paprika' is called that because its infact made from paprika.
Even worse, where i live its in basically everything,
Vegetable nuggets, contains paprika powder.
Bread stuffed with tomato and mozzarella, contains paprika powder.
Most basic Salat dressing, contains paprika powder.
I have to triple check everything and often in restaurants (even if i get a negative response after i asked) i cant eat more than a few bites before i feel it
As i kid i luckily would only feel sick/throw up and than lay in bed for a few hours, because my mom didnt believe me.
Atm it's still limited to a burning sensation and some coughing but i Should probably get my doctor to prescribe me something for emergencies before my throat closes up for the first time
My mom also still to this day doesn't believe me that i am allergic against some things commonly used to scent deodorant, body Wash, laundry detergent etc.
Eventho my skin was constantly irritated and ripping open (even when i was just changing my shirt)
which went away as soon as my doctor wrote down a brand of scentless body wash and deodorant for me to use, now all that's left are a bunch of small scars and endlessly having to explain to people, that not smelling like flowers etc, doesn't mean you didn't take a shower this morning.
I don’t have allergies but there’s two stories from Reddit that stuck out to me.
1. The coconut oil story. That story is so tragic that I’d rather not hash it out here.
2. OP was allergic to bananas and her then-bf’s mom didn’t believe it and added banana to a smoothie she made for OP. Bf’s mom kept insisting that OP was overreacting even after OP went into anaphylaxis and bf’s father carried her out to take her to the hospital. OP later dumped her bf because he kept excusing his mother’s actions. But in a surprising twist, bf’s father filed for divorce BECAUSE of this incident.
The coconut oil story. That grandma was a witch and deserves to go to prison. She'd been warned. The mother is absolutely in the right to never speak to her again.
As for me, there was something I did because I didn't believe someone.
When I was a kid (but still old enough to know better) I was visiting a family and one of the girls had some mice. One of them did this cute dance, but the girl warned me to not place the mouse on the carpet because she would run off and they wouldn't be able to catch her. I f'd around and found out.
I put her on the carpet and we tried to catch her, then the girl's big brother opened the door and kinda barged into the room. He stepped on the mouse. We tried to revive her, but she didn't make it.
My point, we need to believe people more instead of thinking we always know best. People know their bodies and the habits of their pets. Good parents know their children's bodies. Don't f around. You don't want to find out.
There is also the mushroom story
OP was cooking the sauce and was distracted (dad mixes in blended mushrooms) and during dinner he feels funny and one minute later his body empties itself with full force from both ends. OP suffered the most but his family had to smell it/clean up the tiolette.
Oops its in the vid
Oh, I know the coconut story
Man the coconut oil story is so sad…
What is the coconut oil story if I may ask or where can I read it?
As a kid, I had a mild allergy to chocolate. It didn’t cause anaphylaxis, thankfully, but a really bad rash and made me go crazy. I don’t know how else to explain it. I became aggressive and angry if I ate it.
My parents had to explain at EVERY birthday party/school event/Halloween that I was allergic to chocolate.
MOST people were chill, but we met some morons over the years. “Allergies aren’t real,” “She can get over it if you expose her,” etc.
My favorite was, “No, she isn’t. God wouldn’t make it so a child couldn’t eat chocolate.” Then she bent down and asked me, “Honey, do you go to church?”
We did not trick or treat at that house ever again.
I think most people are fairly sane, but the ones who aren’t REALLY aren’t.
I absolutely cannot stand people who bring God into things. So God draws the line with making a child allergic to chocolate but he gives children fatal cancer? Checks out.
If the fucking genocidal beardo in the sky could flood the world because he is slightly miffed, I’m PRETTY sure he’s not beneath THAT.
@@NobodyUndefinedChristians really need to come to terms with the fact that any other dad who treated his kids like their god does would rightly be sent to prison.
ah yes, if God doesn't allow bad things happen to children, why do kids get cancer. a simple question that works sometimes
'god wouldn't make it so a child couldn't eat chocolate' is ABSURD 😭
I developed lactose intolerance when I was in my twenties. Sometimes my grandparents forget this (not due to apathy, they're just in their 80's now and have trouble remembering things). They'll do things like make me chocolate milk for breakfast like they did when I was a kid, and I'll have to remind them that I can't have it. They don't get upset when I remind them, so I know it's just an honest mistake. I also always make sure to buy some dairy-free creamer for my coffee when I visit, because they are guaranteed not to have it.
You can buy special pills now that give you the ability to digest lactose
My grandpa is allergic to alcohol due to being a recovering alcoholic. It only took me one mistake (I didn't want to finish the rest of my drink and offered it to him because i didn't know) to never do that again.
Lactose sensitivity here. It’s not an intolerance per se, more like a threshold? Highly processed dairy is ok for the MOST part. And I’ve run into plenty of folks with allergies or intolerances or diseases that make my problem teeny tiny. I educated my dumb self on all of that cuz food service worker. It’s nice when EVERYONE can enjoy good food. 😊 and not one soul should have to PROVE their restrictions just cuz ‘I don’t believe in that’ people.
Mine is a sensitivity as well. I'm not allergic, so it doesn't show up on allergy tests, but too much lactose will leave me stuck on the toilet for an extended amount of time, if you know what I mean.
Not me but a friend of mine in college. Let's call him Tim. Tim has a long list of allergies including but not limited to: tomatoes, onions, garlic, and chilies. Kevin thought that no one could have that many. So Kevin took some salsa that had all of the listed allergens and splashed it on the back of Tim's neck. The combination of that many allergens caused Tim to swell up and have trouble breathing. Kevin realized he F ed up when Tim started turning red the moment it touched his skin and took Tim to the hospital. It took a few months for the group to forgive Kevin but he never did anything like that again.
Right why lie, like even if someone just has a sever dislike thats enough reason to not feed them etc that food.
Like maybe todlers need extra focus to eat certain normal foods but not if its an allergen
To be fair, most people with 30 allergies are pulling some crap.
Key word: most.
I ain't gunna risk it. And even if they are lying about 29, that last one may be fatal. Better not risk it.
Those are not "that many allergies," that's two allergies. Two types of plant families; nightshades and alliums. Peppers, tomatoes, and onions and garlic.
@@LegendStormcrow People with "that many" allergies are allergic to plant *families* not separate allergies. And no they really aren't "pulling some crap." Allergies have been skyrocketing in recent years due to hygiene habits (as in not exposing your baby to environmental factors is actually unhealthy) and genetic abnormalities.
@@impishrebel5969 9/10 of the people I've met with lists like that (the 35, not 2 families) were inmates, and not only were most of those lies, they would jack food slots trying to get their allergens.
I don't doubt most freeworld instances, with the exception of those people that claim to have 47 different diseases. Even then, why risk it?
This is about my mom and her best friend. After a night out, they decided to get some hotdogs. Mom loves ketchup, but her friend has a mild allergy to it. When they ordered, mom's friend was adamant about not putting ketchup on hers. They waited for a bit and soon enough their order was ready. Mom's friend got her order and it was absolutely soaked in the stuff as the attendant had a smug smile. Needless to say, she wasn't impressed and threw it at the attendant, and because it was covered in so much ketchup, it splattered all over the attendant's uniform and covered her in it. She stormed off, while mom tried catching up with her while eating hers because she was hungry.
That attendant would be flirting with if not outright fired for not understanding "no means no." You don't even have to explain the allergy: no is no.
Even if they don’t have an allergy, they ordered no ketchup, so you give them no ketchup, this is basic food service
Finally, an allergy story that I don't feel depressed after reading.
So, this server was really willing to risk her job and any semblance of social stranding, possibly even jail time, all just to respond to, "I have an allergy," with, "Nuh-uh."
Employee of the freakin' decade, this one.
I wasn't explicitly tricked into eating an something I was allergic to, but rather forced to.
I have a extreme allergy to peas (got it from my grandpa). Mom repeatedly told the ladies that served lunches at school about this allergy. They'd put it down, wait for her to leave, and get rid of it. One day, because kids were leaving the lunch room without eating their veggies every single day, the lunch ladies and teachers decided that no one was allowed to leave the cafeteria until their peas and carrots were gone. I ate everything aside from the vegetables and went to throw my tray away. They stopped me and wouldn't listen to me when I said I was allergic. So, in malicious compliance, I proceeded to grab handfuls of the veggies and stuffed my face. I wasn't even done shoveling the 3rd handful in when my lips and hands started swelling and itching. They tried to stop me, I kept eating until it was all gone and then it kinda becomes fuzzy for me aside from waking up in the nurse's office.
What happened afterward? I have to imagine their was some kind of aftermath
@@daiymohermitaurenjoyer9160 Sooo just asked my mom because I never heard what happened afterwards. Apparently she didn't know about that happening at all. She's now really pissed, but it's been over 20 years since that went down and nothing can be done about it.
My friend in kindergarten was allergic to milk. 10-15 mins after ingesting it he would start throwing up. You know "The Exorcist"? He was way more powerful. I saw it happen once, didn't look good. He got special milk he could drink, don't know what it was (early 80s, so no idea).
At one weekend he went to his aunts place because they had some fun planned. His aunt didn't believe that he couldn't drink milk and she was not happy that the special milk was expensive (she didn't have to buy it, his parents brought some for him). So she gave him a glass with cocoa milk - from cow milk. Short time later he destroyed her living room. He threw up all over the carpets, couch and of course his aunt. When his parents came to pick him up his aunt whined at what happened. After a short discussion she confessed to give him cow milk. His father slapped her across the face and said to her that she was a b****. They refused to pay for the cleaning because it was her own doing that let to this. The relationship between them was cold for a few months but after an apology from the aunt and some gifts for her nephew it went back to nearly normal.
Yeah, for the person with the pistachio allergy, make sure it's a traditional recipe if you order pesto sauce for pasta or pizza. For those that don't know, a traditional recipe will have pine nuts in it, but an improvised one will replace them with pistachios as a low-cost alternative.
My grandmother chased me around the kitchen with a spoonful of crab salad insisting I "just try a bite, it isn't crab". Like physically chased me until she had me cornered and tried to force it into my mouth. I was in tears.
Not only am I deathly allergic, but the scent of seafood makes sick, so I avoided it like the plague even before we knew. I was a freshman in high school, and we'd just confirmed my whole list of allergies. She'd gotten a reminder well before she came. She never would've done it when I just didn't like seafood, she did it BECAUSE the word allergy was used.
That is straight up ATTEMPTED MURDER!
Does your grandma want to take you to a one way trip to the afterlife before it’s her time to go too?
@@bensoncheung2801 Apparently!
@@dallasworth8158
Sounds like an evil bish
So how old was she when she experienced her first p*nes?
Abusive parents knowingly do shit like this all the damn time, all while cheerily lying their asses off about not knowing what they did wrong. I can't believe we live in a society where people from nice families are still so surprised.
Story 4: If every cop were like that cop, the world would be infinitely better.
Also, my wife has tobacco allergies.
I'm allergic to nicotine lol
My parents were nervous first-time parents and convinced that since my dad had a problem with dairy, my sister would too. They gave her a soy-based formula and were extremely concerned when she wouldn’t gain weight. A few tests later, it turned out she was allergic to soy. (No one had ever heard of an allergy being detected in an infant before, but there you go.) They gave her regular formula and she was fine, but she still can’t have soy milk or tofu to this day.
one of my BILs has a dairy and soy allergy. He almost died as a baby before doctors figured out why he was so sick.
A very fine line.
I’ve seen firsthand at how terrible allergies can be and I have family members who have these food allergies. It makes me so angry that people think it’s a joke when a food allergy can potentially cause death.
There should be a card like an ID that that people can carry from a doctor that tells someone if they have an allergy
I have a good one: In second grade there was a kid in my class who always came in with some sort of fish in his lunchbox. One day he had shrimp and he offered me some, I politely declined saying that my dad told me never to eat it because I'm allergic to it and it'll make me really sick. He then said "My mom said people with allergies are usually making it up because they're picky and don't like the food." And I thought that was the end of it. I got up for some reason, whether it was to use the bathroom or get some ice cream, and when I came back I took another bite of my hamburger. The rest was fuzzy, but I remember going to the hospital.
When I came back to school, the kid told me he put a piece of shrimp into my hamburger to trick me into trying it and realizing I like it because that's what his mom did to him all the time. He was crying and begging me to not tell on him, and to forgive him. Well, I must have forgiven him because we were best friends until high school when we just kinda fizzled out in the beginning of freshman year.
The most surprising thing is only one of them was actually convicted for manslaughter... All of these people could have killed someone and only one of them actually was convicted of their crime!
Hearing these stories makes me so mad. I have a friend that is intolerant to green bellpeppers and straight up allergic to red ones. Yellow and orange are fine though for some reason. She's also allergic to black pepper. Not once have i questioned her about it. A lot of food i make uses bellpeppers and black pepper, but if i make anything for her or that is available for her to eat, i specifically avoid those things. As far as i know, most people take her allergies rather serious.
I do remember as a child not being taken completely seriously for an allergy to cedar. We had hamsters, and my parents bought cedar bedding for them. I already had bad seasonal allergies, but also ended up having asthma. Turned out it was agitated very badly by the cedar, especially when fresh. When it was fresh, my eyes would swell up and i would have trouble breathing (luckily not to the point i ever had to go to a hospital or anything). We just adjusted things around the house; no real christmas trees, and changed the bedding for the hamsters. Years later at school though, they specifically used cedar chips outside. Once they were older, i could tolerate them for what time we were outside, but i remember having to beg to go to the library or something when they'd bring in fresh ones. I'd spend the whole afternoon miserable after being around them.
You should report them for neglecting an allergy.
If it was severe, you could have died.
I developed a moderate allergy(?) when going in a shower, as in blotchy red hives EVERYWHERE that the water hit. I would take two antihistamines before and two after having a shower, at the instruction of a doctor (?!?!?!). Even then, I would still sit crying and screaming while itching myself to the point of bleeding when I had a shower. It took 18 months of sink-baths with damp cloths and 18 months of council visits before they finally decided to fit a bath in the house for us. My mum was livid at how long it had taken, as I couldn't properly clean myself or wash my hair. It got to a point where when I finally got to have a bath, I towel dried myself afterwards and all of the dead skin and dirt scrubbed off of me in rolls like a sunburn would. The council didn't believe someone could have a reaction to shower water, and to be honest it is still hard even for me to comprehend, but when they sent the last person out, she put in a complaint that the council hadn't done anything sooner because she could see how damaged and greasy my hair was from not being able to wash it effectively, and how I had patches of dark patches, dirt, on my body from not being able to completely clean myself.
Several years down the line, I've moved in with my partner and tested our shower on my hand and wrist. The burning sensation and immediate redness is worse than ever. Officially, I've been diagnosed with urticaria, but I never really got an answer as to why this is shower-specific. I can have baths just fine.
Man, that sounds bizarre. My thinking is it might have something to do with the showerhead itself; like some kind of trace materials allergen either from something the showerhead is made of or from mildew inside the apparatus.
Woah never heard of this allergy before
Sounds horrible I'm sorry you have to go through that
this reminds me of a story i saw on TV years ago, where the shower water on a ship got tainted, causing anyone who used the shower to catch "legionnaire's disease".
I'm not a doctor, but I have a few very vague theories.
Option 1: there's a weird chemical in shower heads. Maybe some kind of plastic, or rubber, or lubricant (if the shower head has adjustment settings).
Option 2: there's something that grows a lot better in shower systems than anywhere else.
Option 3: it's mechanical. There are disorders in which otherwise harmless mechanical stress results in visible (and generally unpleasant) irritation. I could imagine water doing this, and a shower of droplets flowing under pressure would be worse than immersion in a non-moving bath.
@@adriantallent8557 Probably not - when I moved out, we had an entirely new bathroom fitted (new bath, new shower, new toilet and sink, everything) and I still had a reaction just putting my hand into the shower water.
My mom now knows I’m allergic to gluten.
After years and years of bumpy and rashy skin.
After I moved out and started a gluten free diet it all cleared up.
I’m 31.
I am so sorry.
You probably cant eat garlic bread huh?
Such a terrible fate
@@shelbiecain9289
You do realise there is glutenfree flour and other products
Though heavily processed
Yeah, I’ve found most gluten free items I like, almond crackers and lentil pasta and stuff, still looking for decent bagels though that don’t have cardboard consistency.
I'm allergic to mint, cousin would force-brush my teeth for years. We found out many years later I had this allergy and that's why I kept on saying the mint burned. The allergy has been dismissed many many times because mint is supposed to burn a little like peppers. With me mint burns for hours and often causes the spot to swell, grow itchy, I can't breath and gasp for air, or I break out in hives.
U ever get him arrested for basically attempted manslaughter?
@@CamdenakaNeptunesdaughter1213 she, and no, luckily my allergy was very minor like the story in this compilation.
@@HH-lo7jwI think there should be a doctor issued card that tells people about allergies.
As a fellow person allergic to mint and not believed a lot, I send my condolences
Mint does not burn, it freezes. If the mint burns that's a clear sign that there's something very wrong.
Third one sounds like actual attempted murder. The fact she avoids doing it in front of witnesses is insane.
My mother didn't believe in anaphylaxis until I was 16 years old. Like she believed in seasonal allergies and intolerance but she couldn't believe it could kill someone. Like I was given a epipen and my parents never bothered to learn how to use it.
My husbands grandmother deliberately added a small amount of onions to food she was planning to feed me. Then smugly watched with out comment as I ended up doubled over in agony. I had warned her that I was celiac and onions were one of the major things I absolutely couldn't eat. Later she proudly told everyone that she was "desensitizing" me and soon I would be able to eat onions. Uh huh... I never ate at her home again and my husband was so angry he quit visiting her.
I have an entitled aunt that seems to love telling others how to raise their kids. I'm autistic and that comes with a lot of food aversions. One of them is boiled potatoes. I'm not necessarily allergic to potatoes, I can eat fries just fine, but something about big chunks of boiled or mashed potatoes makes me sick. My mom threw a party and invited family, and I was about 8 years old at the time. Aunt showed up and brought her own food. Potato salad, which is my biggest trigger. I, of course, refuse to eat it. Aunt gets upset despite both my parents explaining to her why I can't have any. Mom knows that I can't be left alone with aunt but has to check on the grill with dad. Aunt drops a whole 3 spoonfuls of potato salad on my plate. I was getting sick of her shit at this point and decided to teach her a lesson. I start eating the potato salad. Aunt is looking all smug that she got her way. About 4 bites in I feel it coming. I made sure to turn directly to my aunt and throw up all over her. Aunt throws a giant fit, gets into a fight with my mom, and is forced to leave early. She never tried to force me to eat anything ever again.
Sensory issues like that are no joke. Shame on your aunt
Same issues here.
At least my family is respectful of my issues, thankfully
One way to teach her a lesson!
Isn't education wonderful?
I'm allergic to a very specific brand of cleaning products. Dettol.
Other brands are fine, but there's just something in Dettol that sets off a reaction. I get nauseous, throat closes up, and the headaches. My god, the headaches.
Luckily, no-one in any of my area uses it. But my step-mother's side of the family uses it exclusively. So, when I have to visit on holidays, I never speak and just spend the whole time trying to just keep breathing and hiding my growing discomfort.
My dad thought I was just being dramatic, until I threw up all over the floor during a Christmas party. Guess what he did? Berate me for not telling him I was sick! "Dad, I feel awful." - "Stop being a baby." - "HUUURGH!!" - "Why didn't you say anything?! Look at this mess!!"
My story is excusable because this happened when my grandmother started developing dementia and I caught it on time before I ate it. I have an allergy to penicillin, specifically the part that comes from yeast mold. So I have to be careful with any baked good with yeast in it, at the slightest signs of mold I avoid it or I will end up covered in super itchy hives for a week (luckily no anaphylaxis.) One day I took my mother to visit her mother about an hour before lunch, I told my mother I was getting hungry and we should go soon and that is when my grandmother insisted we stay for lunch and that she would make us sandwiches. I figured okay yeah it has been a while since I've had one of my grandmother's sandwiches, she always made them up really good, typical grandma kind of thing. When I got the sandwich I noticed small spots in the bread and on a closer look could tell the bread had begun to go moldy. I pointed this out that I couldn't eat it cause the bread had gone bad and my grandmother blurted out "A little mold won't hurt you." At which point I quickly snapped "yes, actually it will, did you forget about my allergy?" I felt really bad a week or 2 later when we found out about the dementia.
I also have a second story that involves me but I only know it from what my mother told me because I was an infant. I had an allergy to lactose, not intolerance but a strait up allergy and that one would cause anaphylaxis. My mother informed everyone about this including the babysitter. While the babysitter believed my mother about the allergy she underestimated it. One day as my mother was getting ready to leave for work I was in my high chair having breakfast and my mother noticed my cheek was breaking out with a severe rash. She started to freak out asking if I was given milk, the babysitter just as confused as my mother insisted she didn't give me anything and then it dawned on her. The babysitter was having a bowl of cereal moments earlier and without thinking she gave me a kiss on my cheek, right where the rash was. Luckily it was just skin contact so it just made me fussy and with a bit of ointment I was better in a few hours. I grew out of that allergy a few years later and now only large quantities of lactose causes me to break out into a minor case of hives (large quantity being like a half gallon of chocolate milk in one night which I might have discovered in my late teens when I decided to buy myself some chocolate milk for family movie night.)
So, I found out I was allergic to pumpkin when I first moved out of my parents’ house. I was very fussy eater as a kid and don't like pie. So, I never had pumpkin pie. Never even touched pumpkin or smelled pumpkin before I move out. When I moved out my aunt got me scented candles that were pumpkin as a gift. I like candles so I would light them when cleaning and when it was just a wonderful day for it. So, I started getting sick. Didn't realize it was because of allergies until later when I had a hard time breathing. Then I got thought i would try pie for a first time thinking I might like some kind of pie. Tried different ones, apple, pecan, pumpkin, and others not at the same time different events every time. Found I still did not like pie. But when I tried the pumpkin, it was worst. So, I had to go to the doctor right away. Found I was allergic by eating and scent. So, I stay away from it. Do not even allow in my house at all. So, I am married, and we have told my In-Laws multiple times I am allergic. They can have their pies, but I need to have it the frozen kind or store bought so the scent isn't big in the house. Most have been great about it but my mother-in-law. So thanksgiving she invited us over. I found out that she put pumpkin in everything. The turkey, pie, cake, side dishes and even had candles. It got so bad that I started having a tough time breathing and would not touch the food. I was thankful I didn't like her cooking in the first place, so I only took small bites, so it wasn't enough to go to the hospital. She then a year later thought it would be nice to give us homemade cookies. But put it in a container that could not see inside. I saw that the one for chocolate chips were just the ingredients, so I went to the second one. I didn't think and just opened it. Immediately got a face full of pumpkin spice cookies. Freshly made so it had the heat and overwhelming smell. I immediately started choking and my throat started closing up. My husband had to get my medicine right away to open my throat. After that I didn't trust her at all with food. Would throw away any cookies from her and we didn't go to Thanksgiving dinner again with her.
You should have your husband try more of those weird flavor pops
There's a bacon one out there I've been too scared to try lol
story 3: literally attempted murder on multiple accounts
My sister is allergic to several kinds of nuts (I think she's allergic to raw apples as well), luckily not anaphylactic shock level of allergy, she just gets itchy in her throat, but I would never even dream of giving her something with those allergens! It's insane to me how there seems to be so many people that intentionally feed others things that they've been repeatedly told will cause horrible reactions!
Its absolutely insane that so many people's family members first instinct is to try to kill them when they hear about their allergies. FAMILY MEMBERS
Fun fact, you can be allergic to water. My skin breaks out in hives when I get wet, doesn't matter what water it is. If I sweat too much I will end up with big splotchy hives on my whole body and it itches like crazy. But if I dry off it'll go away fairly fast like withing half an hour. It's nice that it goes away that fast cause it can drive you nuts during swimming classes.
Honestly that is pretty tame compared to what I expected a water allergy to be like, I expected a water allergy to be constant agony and being bedridden all day since the human body itself is basically made out of water
I'm glad it's not that bad at least
@@magolor152 It's called aquagenic Urticaria if you wanna look up more. I at most get swollen red skin and rash. You can get shortness of breath too. But I am luckly spared from that. I just get all the itchiness there is too it.
The most annoying part for me is that my stepmom doesn't want to believe I got it despite the doctor confirming it. And will constantly change out my fave body wash cause she is certain it's my soap. But I like my soap.
Damn how do you avoid dehydration because water is a necessity
They made you take SWIMMING CLASSES knowing this?!?!! Wtf?!
@@HackiePuffsyeah, humanity is stupid
My biggest issue with this is how many are post diagnosis. Heck even a sever dislike for a food item is a justified reason to not eat it or foods containing it.
Like id get it if they didnt know but if they do thats intentonal poisoning\ attempted murder both legal no nos they could get sued or worse its not funny or proof that you know something medical science doesnt its willful harming of another person.
I keep telling people this that even if someone just doesn't LIKE a food people need to stop trying to force it down their throat. I've found over the years that people with a severe dislike of particular foods often end up developing allergies to it. I mean there usually is a reason why people dislike those foods and don't want to eat them. I didn't like raw onion at first, now I just can't eat it without throwing up.
I just cannot handle avocados. Idk why but I can't eat them without enough salt to turn my stomach into a mini sea. (I need so much salt on one bite that I also need to drink so much water to eat another bite).
But that could also be sensitivity issues
Never liked fish or seafood. The smell alone made me sickish. Mom never forced me to eat it but I was criticized because fish is healthy for you. My elementary school forced me to eat fish sticks. As in I couldn't leave the cafeteria until I ate them. Only way to get them down was to smother them in tarter sauce, even then it was torture. Decades later a doctor told me to take Omega 3 fatty acids, promised me this specific brand had no aftertaste and I would be fine. I stopped taking them when I realized they made me throw up the next morning. Literally, every time I took one I would wake up nauseous and vomiting.
TL;DR - My parents and I have both severe and mild allergies. My dad’s parents tried to guilt-trip us into eating a cake we’re all allergic to even after we said no. My parents were mad when we left their house.
FULL STORY: I’m lucky (or unlucky) enough to be in a family with both common and uncommon allergies. It’s very well known by friends and family my dad has a severe gluten allergy (massive migraines, vomiting, etc. even if he’s just around it or if there’s cross-contamination). I happen to have it as well although it’s milder (I just can’t think straight, remember anything, and I have difficulty focusing which are all horrible for my job that requires all three in working order), We’re both mildly allergic to chocolate too. My mom also happens to have another lesser-known food allergy that she doesn’t even risk going out to eat now due to her reaction (nothing emergency room bad, but it is still a pain)
Because of my family already having allergies and being very vigilant when staying away from certain foods, I don’t have any stories…except one.
We were visiting my dad’s parents. No one in my immediate family is fond of them, but we were in the area. Besides, they’d go out of their way to pass my mom’s parents’ (who we usually visit) house to see if our car was there. We also didn’t plan on being in the area anymore since my mom’s parents were moving in with us states away. So we decided to visit them a couple of times before we left for good.
One of those times (I don’t remember the occasion) my dad’s parents had decided to buy a chocolate cake for us all to enjoy. I don’t remember if it was gluten-free, but it was still chocolate and I knew for sure my mom couldn’t eat it.
My dad and I obviously didn’t want the cake. He hadn’t eaten chocolate in decades so, he didn’t know what would happen. I didn’t feel like having a super itchy back or ulcers in my mouth for a month (which were usually my reactions). My mom couldn’t eat it as I said before.
So, none of us consumed the cake (despite me really wanting to since I love chocolate-). My dad’s parents knew he couldn’t eat chocolate. I can’t even remember if the cake was gluten-free or not, but they knew about that allergy too.
Since all three of us were against eating it, my dad’s parents had the audacity to try and guilt-trip us. “We spent so much money on that cake. The two of us won’t be able to finish it.”
I could feel my mom boiling. On the car ride home, she was furious they even said that, saying they could have bought a vanilla cake instead. But no, they bought chocolate. Let’s just say, I wanted to leave the moment we sat down. It was an hour of agony.
My parents and I have had a rocky relationship with my dad’s parents for years. They don’t pay mind to other people. They only care about themselves. They still think I’m in dance when I haven’t been in dance for over 10 years. We’ve told them. We told them my mom’s parents were moving in with us and they were still surprised when my mom’s parents’ house was sold. Looking back, this incident shouldn’t have surprised me.
That’s the only food allergy story relating to this video I have.
People who need to “confirm” things have no right. They should be in prison.
These remind me of the time my mom was diagnosed for a peanut allergy.
My family a couple years ago went on a road trip. My dad was driving, and one of my mom’s favorite road trip snacks is peanut m&m’s. She was eating them and suddenly says that her mouth is really itchy. My dad is a doctor so he recognized as an allergy. She wasn’t allowed to eat chocolate or peanuts for the whole trip because we didn’t know what she was allergic to in the m&m’s. After that she had several allergy tests done and reacted to the smallest oral peanut dose and was instructed to stay away from peanuts. She’s fine around tree nuts and nuts processed in a separate facility. She’s just very allergic to peanuts which is very sad.
I forgot about when I was almost diagnosed with a fruit allergy just 2-3 years ago.
I was drinking orange juice and the inside of my mouth was itching like crazy. I told my mom, who told me to stay away from fruit at all costs, which made me cry because we just got freeze dried strawberry slices. I went to an allergist and apparently I have a citric sensitivity to oranges and grapefruit specifically. It isn’t even the citric acid because limes have way more citric acid in them than most other citrus fruits. Just oranges and grapefruits.
And pineapples. Pineapples are the worst. Tasty but very painful.
all of these sound completely insane and dangerous to me, but I know my dad's tried to trick my brother into eating mushrooms (which he doesn't like) by blending their spaghetti sauce really fine (he just refused to eat the spaghetti at all). It's a question of respect, even if it's just a dislike, why would you WANT to make someone unhappy by forcing them to eat a thing they don't want to eat? I'm not saying make your kids live on a diet of mcD's and chicken nuggets but come on. Even if you suspect people are lying about having an allergy because they don't like something, THEY DON'T LIKE THE THING AND DON'T WANT TO EAT IT ANYWAY so why do you even take that chance of sending them to the hospital just to prove a point!
Some people (I'm thinking on the autism spectrum but not exclusively) have food aversions from textures and tastes, too. While not life-threatening, it's still a real dick move to disrespect those for a laugh. Oh, good, you got a chuckle out of it, and someone who is entirely justified into never trusting you again with their food. Was it worth it?
Thank you for having common sense.
Us autistic peeps can have the worst problems with food.
I cannot eat healthy foods because of mine
Ooh! I moved in with some friends during the pandemic. I’m very allergic to fish, shellfish, and nuts, and couldn’t afford epipens at the time.
Those roommates put shrimp and other fish into all the food I ate, and refused to clean up the kitchen after they made fish things. So if I used a butter knife to make a PB+J, I’d have a reaction because they didn’t actually wash the butter knife, they just rinsed it off of fish stuff and put it back in the drawer.
Told me I was over reacting when I had a reaction and refused to bring me to the hospital when I asked.
I had Benadryl every single day that year.
Super happy I don’t live with them anymore, and have no contact.
I'm among the 5% of people that are allergic to things we don't test for so I don't know what it actually is. I know it appears in many brands of washing powder and fabric softener, even allergy friendly ones. My mother has the same allergy. If we use a wrong brand that has whatever it is we're allergic too, we'll end up scratching ourselves bloody. She breaks out in hived on her legs, and I do it on my arms. Other than that, I'm allergic to cheap theater makeup (the stuff you'll buy for your child for Halloween), fake tattoos, nail polish and acai berries. The theater paint and fake tattoos will have me breaking out in hives too. The nail polish allergy have turned into eczema on my fingers that will usually break out when the weather starts changing in Autumn and Spring. Yes, currently dealing with that. And acai berries give me the worst headache that won't go away until the berries have traveled through my system.
I know someone who's allergic to meat from big animals like cown and pigs. She can eat fish and birds but nothing else. Her body won't break it down and she'll end up in the hospital in extreme pain while it travels through her system. Luckily we live in a country with free healthcare and she knows to avoid these types of meat but there's always someone who doesn't believe you can be allergic to meat.
There's likely a specific chemical you're allergic to.
@UnitTrace Yeah, no point. I use a washing powder I don't react too, and instead of using fabric softener, I use a bit of vinegar. That's safe, cheaper, and better for the environment.
perhaps you have a metal allergy of some kind? i know laundry powder has some metal in it and it wouldn't surprise me if fabric softener has some. just a wild guess though.
Perhaps check ingriedients in those things and see if they have any in common? Ir could be one of, if not multiple of those, then perhaps through process of elimination, if possible, you could figure out what it was, and then bring it up with a doctor when you're almost certain what it was, if not completely certain. Maybe that can help in getting some custom made specifically for you and your family who also have the allergy(ies)
I'm allergic/hyper sensitive towards something in certain products for the hands, like hand soaps and hand lotions, I don't know what it is, but it usually happens with hand products with perfume in them (not allergic to perfume, I use it in tons of other products), so I've taken to just avoiding all hand products with perfume in them. The way the allergy shows is that the skin between my fingers will dry up, get red and irritated, start to hurt and itch, and then begin to flake and peel, almost as if I had a nasty sunburn
Haven't been tricked, but I have been forced. Hear me out. Growing up many adults disbelieved I had a peanut allergy because I didn't require an epipen. Basically, it wouldn't kill me. To put it into perspective only adult me can put it into. It's like requiring a child to eat a ghost pepper without milk and telling them "See? Now don't you feel better now that you've ate?"
Same with celiac. My reaction was compared to salmonella, similar symptoms, just not as bad, so why do I care so much?
Also, there was this study published when I was in school, showing that a gluten-free diet has no benefits for healthy people. It was used as an argument, to call me a choosy brat by some
@@v3ru586 I don't know a single person in my life with valid celiacs disease, just a bunch of people who claim to have it but really don't. i.e. They can be tricked into eating gluten and are perfectly fine after. Doesn't help legit cases like yours in the slightest.
My oldest brother who has been disowned also claims to be allergic to tomato. He's not, he just doesn't like the taste of tomatoes nor ketchup. People like him fuck it up for people who are legit allergic to things.
@@NoodlyPandathere should be an allergy card to say that you are indeed allergic.
That would benefit so many people if there was something like that.
@@CamdenakaNeptunesdaughter1213 I agree, I hated growing up.
Unfortunately, yes, i actually have 2 stories frome different ages. When i was about 5, my mother told a trusted daycare provider my allergy to eggs she assured my mom and as soon as my mom left she shoved eggs practically down my throat i threw up immediately but my throat closed she called my mom and next ambulance had 2 epi pen injections my mother pressed charges.
There really, really needs to be a way to verify a legit allergy, without killing somebody.
Like a doctor assigns a card like an ID, informing individuals of a diagnosed allergy
The crazy part is she thought she knew better because my mom was really young when she had me she gave that lady my allergy test results because I have many and she still did what she did she wasn't sorry either called me a bastard child
@@lunareed6722at least that devil woman was punished
I'm severely allergic to coffee beans. Had someone who was flirting with me try to buy me a cup of coffee. I politely declined, explained my allergies and he tried to pour it on me for rejecting him. Thank goodness I was faster than him and got out of the way. 😅 I removed myself from the situation really fast, apologizing to the restaurant staff but I'm not going near that. Blocked him and told everyone that knows him he did try to kill me.
Least insane incel.
Did ya press charges?
@@CamdenakaNeptunesdaughter1213 I honestly should have but it was just a cup of coffee, wouldn't have really gone anywhere with my local courts.
@@SweetlyDarkArta cup of coffee your allergic to.
Attempted murder, with witnesses.
If it were me, I would have at least made him pay for damages
3:29 Yeah well the ones that "just upset your stomach" is like having the flu and it's uncomfortable af so they're bad enough, and it's not like they can't go anaphylactic very quickly.
Usually the upset stomach ones are not actually allergies but intolerances. A lot of people mix them up but one is you being unable to digest the irritant while the other is your immune system over reacting to the irritant. I actually have had both to lactose, as an infant I had an allergy to it that would result in anaphylaxis so my mother had to buy a special formula. I grew out of that allergy at a young age but as an adult I have developed mild lactose intolerance so too much dairy will give me cramps and make trips to the bathroom more difficult.
My sister went from intolerant to shellfish to allergic within a year, and her last reaction was pretty bad (as much as it gave her a bad stomach ache, she loved shrimp). As soon as I started showing an intolerance, shellfish was completely cut from my diet. I list it as an allergy still to be safe, though it's likely still at intolerance levels.
ALLERGIES ARE REAL!! And you can suddenly have them out of nowhere. I wasn’t allergic to anything until I was 25. Blue spruce and cedar. Then in my early 50s, lavender of any species (ironic because my favorite color is purple). Edit: now at 59, allergic to rosemary and very sensitive (barf) to vinegar.
I've had allergies all my life and while I grew out of my one known anaphylactic allergy, I around the same time became allergic to all pollens, trees, grasses, most molds, feathers, most mammals, and developed lactose intolerance by 20 when I hadn't been allergic to those specific things before. The two I've never grown out of but have changed in presentation are my bee and amoxicillin allergies. Allergies are weird, like genetics.
Completely, I was allergic to polen when I was a child, I got treatment, and now I'm 32 and I have been dealing with reflux for a few months this eyar, I didn't know why the treatment was not working, suddenly even with medication things were bad once in a while, I still have to get an endoscopy this month to discard an hernia, but I realized a month ago that I suddenly developed a dairy allergy. When I completely stop its comsumption and product derived from it the medication actually works well and I have no reflux. Also, I realized that the burning I felt in my throat is most likely from the allergy and not reflux most of the time.
If a person has been warned, in very clear and plain terms, that you or anyone else has an intolerance or allergy and they STILL try to get you/others to eat it, then they are either too stupid to be allowed out on their own and should be in an in-care facility where they can be monitored at all times, or they value being right _more than they value _*_your LIFE,_*_ even when they know they're in the wrong_ and should be in prison for attempted manslaughter/murder.
Sigh... every single one of these cases where they KNOW you have an anaphylactic allergy to something, yet feed it to you anyway. Doesn't it EVER occur to them that they're engaging in attempted murder?
Not technically an allergy, but along the same lines:
I have sensory issues, which for me includes being pretty much unable to eat certain foods. Eggs, avocado, stuff like that, but the biggest culprits are mushrooms. They won't harm me, but they feel really unpleasant in my mouth. I mean "I feel sick to my stomach just feeling this texture" levels of unpleasant.
It took a while for my dad to really get his head around that. He wouldn't complain about me picking mushrooms out of my dinner, but he'd still cook with them pretty often. Not blaming him too hard, he likes mushrooms, but it was annoying having to carefully pick through half my meals.
Eventually I realized just saying "mushrooms give me sensory hell" might not really convey my perspective to someone who hasn't actually been through sensory hell. Once I found a way to explain the feeling ("mushrooms make me feel like I'm going to choke, even the flavor is ruined by association") he immediately switched to cooking mushrooms separately and adding them into his and my sister's food after pulling mine out. Love you, Dad ❤
Its like consuming sewer slusge from a drainage pipe.
Sensory issues suck
@@shelbiecain9289 Amen to that!
I have a similar problem with cooked onion. Not raw onion, not fried onion, but specifically cooked onion. The texture instantly triggers my gag reflex
All I have to do is say 'this is to me what touching Styrofoam is to you', and my dad gets it. Sytofoam is his sensory hell.
Understandable, newspaper makes me freak out merely upon touching it even though it doesn't physically harm me- i imagine its a similar thing.
The whole "doesn't believe you have a severe allergy" feels like an American thing. In Canada, someone says they have a bad allergy? Everyone keeps whatever it is far away from them.
Not tricked but I found out I'm allergic to an ingredient used in children's cold medicine (I have no clue how to spell it,) after my mom gave me some to treat a cold. One trip to the ER and a near stroke for my mom, we learned about my allergy. They don't make that brand of cold medicine anymore so I'm in the clear I guess.
This is why I'm glad that I'm only intolerant to milk and not outright allergic. I don't see why people have to "prove" someone doesn't have an allergy. If I weren't afraid of roaches myself, I would be tempted to put a roach in their shoe and say "You aren't afraid of roaches. You're just being overdramatic" while they're freaking out about it.
I used to work at Taco Bell. One day a lady came in and ordered a taco that had sour cream and cheese on it She asked to have the sour cream removed because she was lactose intolerant so we took the cheese off as well. We gave her her food and immediately she’s mad, she wanted the cheese. But you said you were lactose intolerant and that contains lactose she threw the taco at me and demanded we make it correctly. I don’t think she understands what lactose intolerant means
Uh yea so lactose intolerant you can still have hard cheeses. It's things like milk, sour cream or just cream in general or ice cream that mess up your stomach.
The cheese-making process breakes down lactose into lactic acid, how much lactose is left, if any, depends on the type of cheese.
Tbf I don't think what Taco Bell uses can even be considered cheese.
For the first one.. it’s scary how many people don’t know that peanuts aren’t actually nuts (they are legumes) and use that as an excuse to not believe someone has a nut allergy as soon as they see them eat a peanut. Infuriating.
The first story really sets the tone... After telling the story they immediately told us their family dynamic 20 years later
My niece's family made a dessert with peanuts and didn't tell her or label it, even though they knew she was allergic. They said (after she ate it) that she should just work through it. Her father is allergic to shellfish and eats shrimp all the time even though he knows he's going to be all itchy for the next day, so he figures everyone else should be willing to just put up with allergies.
My brother was allergic to spinach and my other brother allergic to shrimp. You can guess what I put into my food to keep them from eating it 😅 that being said, I am allergic to peanut and they loved peanut butter. We knew each other's allergies and was okay with each other eating the stuff we were allergic to as long as we told each other "hey, it has your allergy in it. Don't touch it."
There's a word I learned recently. Amathia, which essentially means Ignorance and lack of wisdom with an unwillingness to learn. The Greco-Roman philosopher, Epictetus, likened it to a disability like a crippled leg or being blind. Something to be pitied instead of hated. If you think about it, he isn't wrong about the pity part. These people's amathia drive everyone around them away. They are doomed to live life more and more alone as people slowly cut them off as they get tired of their crap. If they're like my mother, they're doomed to either not having a job or working another out of hundreds of dead end jobs. Never learning from her mistakes, and always worrying that she will run out of people willing to support her and end up on the street. It truly is a sad existence, in my opinion.
This happened when i worked at wendy's. I was on one of the few breaks i got (i got 4 in the course of 8 months found out later what they were doijg violated state laws but thats another story) i ordered the Cranberry salad (which has topping put on it when its ordered minus lettuce) i let the person know that i had a food allergy and to make sure not to add the blue cheese. She says no problem i get a slip with food allergy with a note saying blue cheese. She goes into the back to get the salad (thought it was weird since she didnt ever make salads only ran register) she comes back i check the salad visually to check since i had had problems in the past and it passes muster. I go and sit down near a window since i needed sun since i was working 3 jobs at the time. I eat my salad within a few minutes i start to feel funny like my tongue swelling. I walk up to let my manager know to call a ambulance just in case (i didnt have a phone at the time) while waiting for her i see my coworker smirking at me and so i check my salad again . This time lifting up pieves with my fork and i find a big scoop of blue cheese. I let a customer know im having a allergic reaction because of what she did (my exact words were very jumbled tho) i end up going to er just in time and she got fired for almost killing me
I have a rather severe case of intolerance to most fungi and molds, of the violent voiding of the bowels kind.
I cannot tell you how many times I had an unfortunate experience after having a slice of pizza that I was assured had no mushrooms anywhere in the process of making, because people think just picking them off is enough. There are some people who've made this 'mistake' several times, to the point I have become convinced they were doing it intentionally.
It has been years since I ate a pizza that I have not ordered myself, and never without confirming directly with the chef.
Yes, I don't do remote orders nor delivery, I have become that paranoid.
As someone who works with pizza, I would definitely recommend not doing those remote orders (even though I presume you don’t based on your comment) because no matter how careful I am while making it I get paranoid because while making a pizza we don’t change gloves every time we put a separate topping on so even tiny amounts of mushroom juice could be in any of the other things. It must be hard for people with allergies to order anything and I wish you luck!
I have two stories regarding allergies, one of them is when I was young and the other happened to a guy that I knew while waiting to get out of the military. The first story happened when I was younger, around 10 if I'm not mistaken, I had eaten lobster for the first time. I ended up throwing it up and feeling my throat swell up a bit, but nothing life threatening as it's a mild allergy. I was sick at the time, so my mom thought that I was full of it for years when I said that I thought I was allergic to shellfish, feeding me shrimp over time that made my stomach not feel good with a tingling sensation in my throat and made me eat a seafood bisque around 6 years later, basically a creamy soup with all sorts of seafood and shellfish mixed in. Ended up throwing it all up about 10 minutes later after one bowl and had the feeling that my throat was closing a bit. My mom finally realized that I wasn't full of it and that I was telling the truth about being allergic. My older brother pretends to be allergic to shellfish now because he wants everything to be about him. Now for the military story. One day while I was waiting to be sent off to be shipped back home, I ended up in a truck with a couple of guys from a different group, and one of them was getting kicked out for "lying" about not having an allergy to peanuts. He had never eaten peanuts had only tried them while in the military and this confused everyone, including the DS driving the truck.
This just happened to me. I teach elementary school and every year, I tell my students and parents that I am allergic to fragrances; particularly those fragrances that are alcohol-based. So, things like anything from Bath and Body Works, skin care/ hair care with fragrances, scented hand sanitizers and hand cream are not to be brought into my room. I get really bad migraines that send me home. It happens each year that one student or another will bring something at least once and use it under their desk thinking that I won’t notice. I always do. I don’t get sick right away, it takes a while of continued exposure for me to get a headache. Usually, the kids notice and get rid of it. Last year, I got an apology from one girl who had never heard of my allergy. This year, one student had to be moved out of my room because she came to school for two weeks in a row covered in perfume! She was also wearing a full face of make up, which isn’t allowed in elementary school. Admin tried to talk to mom, who said, “tough luck”, so she moved rooms. Last week, I got a migraine so bad that it lasted 24 hours-the first time for me. I had to wait half a day for a sub so I could go home because I was so sick. The next day? You guessed it! A different girl brought perfume. I lost it at the kids. I hope it doesn’t happen again. What can you do when an entire class doesn’t believe you? Geez…
I have a friend who is allergic to wheat. Like, actual wheat. He can't have any bread, no cake, etc. He is good at baking though.
Anyways, multiple people have tried to get him to eat bread. He doesn't eat it, but sometimes if they're persistent enough about him "faking it", he will eat it and then go into severe anaphylactic shock right in front of them.
Another thing is that his older sister is allergic to honey; like severely allergic. A waitress didn't believe it and slipped honey in her food; yes, she almost died in that restaurant, and the waitress was fired.
I have allergies to nuts and dairy. Most people get it, but there have been a few cases where I tell someone about my allergies and their response is, "Well, if I didn't tell you it had nuts in it you'd be O.K. right?" They honestly thought that allergies are just psychological and have nothing to do with genetics or biology. Don't get how there are still people that don't understand what allergies are.
One of my worst allergy attacks would be in the hospital I was staying at inpatient after my partial hysterectomy. The nurse read my file that I am allergic to codine and other narcotics. One exception is a narcotic at a very certain dosage, and that’s all that I can take. She didn’t care and gave me a higher dosage which in turn made my skin break out. The next thing I know I’m scratching my skin off and start losing my ability to breathe. She told me to just take a shower and I would be fine. Hysterically I called my mom while barely being able to breathe going, “Help mom. They did something wrong, I can’t breathe!” I stammered out very choppy and frantic. My mom called them and demanded that they help me now or she would come up there and do it herself. (This was the peak of cov*d and people weren’t allowed back except for patients.) I was suffocating and turning purple and red and they FINALLY came in and gave me a crap ton of IV Benodryl, which did nothing and they had to come back two other times with steroids and I FINALLY went over the hurdle of anaphylaxis. Then they decided to ignore my allergy to a certain nausea medication and I started seizing out on my hospital bed. (It’s an intolerance that triggers my seizures). AGAIN they came back with multitudes of medication to counteract what they had done to me. Never went back to that hospital.
I once had a teacher that had to warn girls that if they wanted to put on perfume they had to do it outside of the classroom. The girls would often say “It’s okay, it smells good!”, but the scents weren’t the problem, it was the fumes.
So I have a really annoying food allergy wherein I'm not quite deathly allergic to nearly all fruits and vegetables. Basically they have to be cooked for there to be no reaction, and I have to prepare in advance if I want to eat healthy. My body's reactions vary but the most common reaction sequence is an itchy throat, then the inside of my ears itch, then I start to feel my airway swell shut, and I've thankfully never gone beyond that. Anyway this is from elementary school, private catholic school, and they've just started a new "healthy foods" program. Program's teachers are making the kids try new vegetables to try and get us to eat better. I currently have a cold sore on my lip, not feeling too great, and they make their way to me. I explain my ridiculous allergy and that I won't be eating anything. Of course they "make" me try something, even if it's just a bite. Fine, but you won't like the results. One bite of a radish and five minutes later my cold sore lip is swelling at a rapid pace until it's about the size of a grape, my throat itches, and the teachers are freaking out. Guess who doesn't have to do the stupid program anymore... Also come to find out much later that my mother is also highly allergic to radish and edamame, go figure.
I got diagnosed with a shellfish allergy, which is fine since I don’t like seafood but I had a blood test done to check what I’m allergic to after I’ve had tons of stomach issues for a couple years, one time before getting diagnosed me and my family were at a restaurant and we were talking and my dad and I think my sister were trying to convince me to try some of the lobster or crab and after taking a small bite I immediately started to feel sick which I can’t tell if it was because I just really hated the smell and taste if it or if it was because of my allergy but it would make sense lol
I'm intolerant to table sweeteners, it doesn't mean I can't consume it, but 2-3 pieces, and I sh!t like crazy. My dad didn't believe me, so he ground up a few pieces and mixed them with the sugar that I put into my coffee. No surprise, diarrhea. So I decided to taste it, and sensed that funky taste. Swapped sugar, had no problems, then a few months later, he said that I don't have this intolerance, because I didn't have diarrhea shortly after the coffee. That's when I revealed that I swapped the tainted sugar, thereby I didn't have any reaction. He went silent for a good 5 minutes. Later, I became intolerant to coffee, still drinking it in much smaller amount.
Speaking as someone with some weird allergies, people doubting them is a very real problem. Fortunately, one of them is minor. I just tingle and my tongue swells a bit when I eat apples or pears. But the other one, bleach, gets a lot of "Isn't everyone allergic to bleach?" No. Everyone can get chemical burns from bleach, not everyone breaks out in hives.
My mom was helping me clean my house, and we had to go shopping for supplies. She wanted certain specific products. "Mom, those have bleach." "We'll just rinse it out, it's fine" We were in the middle of an argument over one thing or another at this point, so there was no getting through to her and I ended up just saying "If I die, it's your fault." Which, yeah, wasn't the kindest thing to say, but it was also true. She cleans out my bathtub with the bleach, because I absolutely refused to touch it. I then spend a while letting the shower run, wasting a bunch of water, because I needed to shower and the whole place still stank of bleach. Like I truly couldn't touch a single surface in my own place. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful my mom helped me clean, but in the process my apartment became uninhabitable. Eventually, I take either a bath or a shower. Low and behold, over the next hour or so, hives start showing up and getting worse. My mom was the one who took me to the hospital where I found out I had this allergy, only a few weeks before this happened. I fortunately still had the medicine I was given and was okay.
I used to be allergic to strawberries as a kid. Now I was never tricked into eating them, nor were my parents aware I was allergic until I got hives from eating them. And even though I only got hives from them and never had to go to the hospital from a reaction, they simply kept me away from strawberries as a preventative measure. I grew out of the allergy years ago and could eat them with zero consequence since. My adoptive dad was dangerously allergic to shellfish when he was alive (death unrelated) and when I was made aware, any time I ate shrimp in any way I made sure to was the crap out of everything the shrimp touched.
I am just like you but for me it is Sweet Potatoes! I found out I grew out of the allergy one thanksgiving dinner, my mom was panicking until I didn’t break out in hives and nowadays Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite foods!
@@alexkuhn5188 For me I found out not long after being in foster care that I grew out of mine
Some people, like me, get the allergy later in life. I am also allergic to mint, but growing up I didn't know the signs and thought it was just a spicy food... It started as an intolerance but now my throat swells even if I just smell it, like I could die if someone is chewing mint gum next to me. Due to the anaphylaxis symptom not happening until my teen years no one believed me when I told them I couldn't eat the mint I loved so much.
I got bit by a lone star tic and became allergic to red meat, it was horrible. The reaction times range from instant to hours or even days after ingestion. I wouldn't break out into hives or stop breathing or anything like that, but I'd get these intense pains, just like period cramps, but I'd be on the ground crying if i didn't take pain killers in time. The last reaction i had was months ago. I've been slowly reintroducing meat into my diet, and im happy to say that i seem to be in the clear. I'm still weary of it, and i won't eat meat if given a meat free option, but the nightmare seems to be over 🤞
It was all smoke in mirror. It has not gone away and seems to have returned with a vengence. No more pizza rolls 😭
Oh no!
Nut allergy, wife dying, miscarriage? Does the aunt in story one just not believe anything bad can happen to anyone else ever?
I didn't find out I was allergic to pine trees until I was 25. Didn't decorate for a few years because I was salty about my new found allergy. Last year I got a fake tree and "because I can't be THAT allergic to it", put a few pine branches in the fake tree so I could enjoy the smell. I am definitely that allergic to it😠
The main rule is this: If someone says they have an allergy..... THEY HAVE ALLERGY!!!! Meaning you do not try to trick them, lie to them, or prove them wrong. Your response should be: 'You have a nut/fruit/food allergy? Ok, so we have to avoid this this and this. In case you accidentally eat the item where is your EpiPen so that I can help you?'
It is literally that simple. These morons that claim allergies don't exist are the same types that will say medical conditions like Asthma are not real. Newsflash! when I say I am Asthmatic and a chemical in hairy spray causes an ASthma attack I expect people to believe me and say: 'Let's avoid the hair salon.' But no you still get the village idiot who says: 'You're just making that up.'🙄
I have that mint allergy too, thankfully I had other allergies and so did my mother. I don't know what I would've done without that..
What is the matter with these people? I’m someone who loves cooking, but if someone tells me that they have an allergy to something I’m not going to try and prove if they’re telling the truth or not. If they are telling the truth, then I’m not gonna try and poison them. If they’re not telling the truth, then they probably don’t like the food, and I’m not gonna force them to eat something they don’t like. Regardless, it doesn’t affect me at all, so I don’t understand why these people feel the need to test people who have allergies. Seriously, grow up. Maybe if people started getting slapped with severe legal trouble for testing someone’s allergies this nonsense would stop.
My parents keeping me on a gluten-free diet was called "child abuse" by several teachers. Some even said that I'm set up for failure unless I learn that sometimes, I need to eat what I get, no special treatment. So, they're trying to help and failing horribly due to being stupid.
If you're allergic, there's a point where you just offend people by avoiding them in order to stay healthy
They are prideful. That's all there is to it
They are professional idiots.
They are also people you need to stay the crap away from
I don't understand... what kind of person on hearing one person say "I can't eat this it's basically poison to me" goes "well I'm going to slip some poison in to prove you're lying".
Either they are lying and you are actively disrespectful to their tastes, or they're telling the truth and you are a colossal asshole. Like, maybe I'm the weird one, but I'm of the opinion that peak asshole is when you're willing to bet another human being's life on you being right. Literally that's what these people are doing - they are betting the life of another person (usually a friend or family member) on their being right.
How to tell me you consider my life worthless without telling me you consider my life worthless.
My parents and most people, I have an unusual but severe allergy to beef and for most of my life I didn’t say much about the fact that eating beef would send me into severe GI distress, except to say that it made me sick which my parents didn’t pay any attention to so would keep making beef for meals. The only time they mentioned it when I was growing up was that after dinner I would be in the bathroom, instead of cleaning off the table. After I was old enough and making my own food I obviously cut it out of my diet and using my own cookware to make my foods and stopped having constant reactions (I was incredibly lucky that my reactions only got worse in terms of duration and onset rather than severity), and for a long time my parents refused to believe that I was allergic until they contaminated my food while camping with beef fat (this is one of the worst, and leads to an almost instantaneous reaction I’ve found, and it’s unclear whether the contamination was intentional or accidental) and was basically camped out in the bathroom for a day and a half. But it’s also a problem at restaurants and almost anywhere because it isn’t an allergen people actually put much stock into, but I’ve had several bad reactions thanks to cross contamination.
my home edu teacher didn't believe i was allergic to oatmeal. baseball hives that will go down my throat after a certain amount of time. she told me to eat the oatmeal baked apples or get a zero for the day. i didn't feel like dying so i took the zero. my mother was pissed. it's in my records that she said she didn't have time to read. she asked her what 'are you lazy or stupid? Or do you like trying to kill children? which is it?"
i never had to eat anything in the class if i didn't want to or never eaten it before.
allergy or not, giving a child a zero for not eating something they dont want to is a horrible thing to do
My parents don't believe red meat causes my stomach issues (a gastrointestinal disease) flare up real bad and would be surprised when I'd be in the bathroom a ton. Another, off-topic thing, My second oldest brother also doesn't believe I am colourblind and thinks I'm faking it when I am not. Discovered my colourblindness when I was 17 and it's somewhere between mild to moderate, meaning, I can still see the majority of colours, just some are difficult/impossible to see.
Also, at 16:00 I would have divorced her if that had happened to me, no one's going to attempt murder on me over a weird suspicion about an allergy and expect me to forgive them.
Hearing these stories makes me so glad I don’t have allergies
i will never understand why people just cant accept a person's allergies. Just ACCEPT IT
I am not allergic to anything that I know of, have not been around anyone having an allergic reaction beyond some puffy or gassy. I will still treat anyone claiming to have an allergy as if it will kill them just having it nearby. It annoys one of my friends that has a minor allergy to a few things, but I'd rather not take that chance.
I'm allergic to bananas and latex, so in turn pomegranates. I can't use latex contraceptives, and a protein in pomegranates mimics one in latex (iirc) so yeah, after i got pregnant (and lost the pregnancy) i stopped being able to use latex contraceptives and eat pomegranate :(
(Non latex physical contraceptives are a thing)
Wait a second, I’m allergic to latex and like pomegranate flavored things. I’ve never had real pomegranate (unless there’s real pomegranate in pomegranate lemonade instead of just flavoring if that makes sense). Crazy how they’re correlated and o never knew because the fruit doesn’t bother me.
@@MaddoxEzman if you can get allergy testing to see if you're allergic to that protein :)
Several of these sound like pre meditated attempted murder
i used to be really allergic to ranch, not allergic enough to need to go to the hospital but allergic enough to make my nouth break out in a sort of rash. ive neved been tricked but ive been forced to eat it at my elementary school when it was offered and i would get yelled at. tbh i dont think i cared bc i eat it with almost every meal nowadays
I’m severely intolerant to orange juice like 1 sip immediate stomach issues and crap. I was ordering a smoothie from Smoothie King and I told the guy not to put any orange juice in my smoothie. He overloaded the smoothie with it. Luckily I didn’t have to run to the bathroom. The manager was standing right there and he said to the guy “ she said she can’t handle any orange juice Why did you put it in the smoothie. He said that he thought I wanted a lot of orange juice. The manager apologized to me and made me another smoothie. I haven’t been back since. I don’t trust them anymore. I think I ordered a pineapple pleasure or surf or something like that
I have 2 food allergies, Milk and Mustard. It's NOT lactose intolerance, as that only causes problems with the digestion track, stuff like diarrhea or bloating. For those like me, I get headaches and joint problems(Mustard also causes headaches). But I can at least tolerate processed foods with milk, so like a chocolate bar is find for me. My mother's reaction however, is far worse, and having anything above trace levels causes a wide list of issues.
Like she has to be constantly on the lookout for if a meal might have milk in it, particularly because the US has a weird obsession with putting as milk in as many foods as possible.
Some people think they know better than a doctor.
I have what's essentially a Legume Allergy, even though it's NOT an Allergy and more of a "My body literally isn't made to consume Legumes". It's a "G6PD deficiency" or 'Favism' how its called.
If I eat even a single bean, I get the afromentioned Favism. Essentially my Blood loses the Ability to carry Oxygen. My entire body suffocates even though I can still breathe.
In my school the food with dishes was delivered to side-rooms of our classrooms where we would eat everyday. One Day we had a Stand-in Teacher while Lunch time.
And she was a "You eat what's on the Plate" type of Boomer... err, Person. She wanted me to eat what got delivered (which had green beans in it). I instead ate the rest of my Breakfast because my Mother always packs me more when we know the school will serve beans.
She didn't trick me into eating it, but wanted to force me. She didn't believe I had an allergy, to which I explained everything I know about my Condition...
Then she told me I "probably got that from Wikipedia" and were lying. I asked her why she never took a Look into my files...
She looked me in the eyes and said "I have better Things to do with my Time"...
I became furious and went to the Principal. TL:DR, she got fired because she was doing that stuff all the time and got away with it 2 times already.
Sounds like you have a more severe form of G6PD if you cannot eat green beans, because they tend to be pretty safe for those with the less severe forms.
@@cat-vv9xb Yeah, it kinda is. I can eat things that have Legume traces, but a whole bean becomes dangerous.
Im so happy about that because a "even traces can kill you" level Allergy sounds super stupid, scary and annoying.
good gracious! peanuts aren't treenuts.. they're BEANS.
allergy to chocolate is not weird. its farily common. I knew a boy allergic to it we made vanilla cupcakes instead.
Less of a 'Test' and more a realization of "THAT BAD" - Sister has had a peanut allergy for longer than she's been able to walk. Its affected her life in a lot of ways because peanuts are involved in a lot of things most don't know about. Well, she's at a sleepover with one of her friends who lives down the road. Friends Mom is making PB&J sandwiches for all the girls and is planning on making my sister a ham and cheese sandwich. She washes her hands, uses completely different dishes and utensils for the ham and cheese. Gives my sister her plate first so no one else accidentally contaminates her plate with a lose dribble of peanut butter.
The usual 'intelligent people knowing a child has a life threatening allergy to something and doing their best to serve a bunch of kids who might not be as careful as they should be because they are all 6 and thus understandably incapable of such'
Sister and friends go to the room to eat sandwiches and watch tv.
Friends mom a bit later comes carrying my sister to my house screaming for my mom that my sister is in anaphylactic shock.
Mom says kids swear that NO ONE gave her any of their sandwiches, let her touch their plate or anything like that. They all were watching tv when my sister said she felt icky and suddenly started coughing then stopped breathing.
Trip to the hospital gives the realization from the doctors that kids are telling the truth, she had a reaction just by SITTING NEXT TO people who had the sandwiches.
The lesson to be learned from this is respect people's boundaries. It costs you nothing and if you intentionally cross them then you're a terrible person.
That aunt should be charged with attempted murder
people do be stupid sometimes
Second 🎉
My ex husband was getting increasing allergic reactions to anything with walnuts. They weren’t terrible serious but increasingly, his mouth would get numb and swollen if he came into contact with them. I made sure to check ingredients to avoid walnuts or walnut oil. I don’t like walnuts anyway so it was easy to avoid them. However, when we went to his parent’s place and I mentioned this increasing sensitivity, his mother who had actually been a nurse would pooh-pooh it and he would downplay it. Yet, he would come home complaining that his mouth was puffy. I kept telling him that if he didn’t insist on her avoiding giving him anything with walnuts, he could have a serious, even deadly reaction. He absolutely refused to say anything to her.
Meanwhile, his mother wouldn’t give his brother anything with eggs because once (ONCE) when he was a kid, he’d eaten an egg-salad sandwich in the car and got sick. That, apparently, was “proof” that, at 30, he was “allergic to eggs”. And before I knew he was “allergic to eggs” a couple of times I had made things with eggs in them with no ill effects at all. Nor did he ever ask if there were eggs in anything which, if you had an actual allergy, you would do. He also ate all kinds of prepared foods which likely had eggs in them without any concern or reaction.
I wasn’t about to give him eggs to prove a point but the fact that my husband was actually allergic to walnuts and got definite reactions and she refused to believe it but his brother had one episode when he was 8 or something which was probably due to eating an egg-salad sandwich in a hot car was “proof” that he was allergic.
Im allergic to apple cider, and the first time we found out was when we went to an apple orchard, got some cider, I drank it and I had an allergic reaction, may not be someone trying to prove it was fake but yeah
My dad had an intolerance to mushrooms and my eldest maternal aunt didn't believe him. One night when my parents were staying over her place, my aunt made a green bean casserole and didn't tell my dad that she put cream of mushroom soup in it. My dad ended up sleeping on her bathroom floor because he couldn't stop throwing up. Needless to say, she believed him after that.
The worst part of this, my aunt was a nurse at the time, so she should have known better than to mess around with people's allergies. She could have killed my dad if his allergy was more severe.
