Serves both of the insecure individuals right.

BTW, as a food service professional, I understand that there are some tiny precentage of folks that have food allergies.

Many are outgrown and that is never acknowledged. There are also a lot of folks out there that claim that they are allergic and are not.

Real allergies have histamine reactions.

I met an old logger here in N. Idaho who told me he was allergic to alcohol.

“Really, I’ve never heard of that.”

“Oh yeah. Everytime I drink alcohol I break out in handcuffs.”

Very true. Found out the hard way about "food" or in particular iodine allergies. Had always kept Kosher, but was not particularly careful about how food was prepared in restaurants. I was at a professional meeting with my wife and appetizers were served that had been prepared with crab. Ouch.

My wife took one look at me and had me dose up with Benadryl and Prilosec. Haven't gone the Epi route yet, but was tested and warned about future reactions.

I am disgusted with all the nonsense food warnings because of the lack of real allergy food cautions. It is just like anything the government gets involved in. Fubar.
