You are so right about that-and my mind goes right to those otherwise invisible parents who want their kid’s whole school to be peanutless brcause their little darling might get a whiff and expire. I say let the kid be homeschooled or wear a hazmat suit to school-it isn’t anyone else’s problem.
Or, how about the mediocre, previously unnoticed office drone who wants a perfumeless/deoderantless office, lest they expire from a whiff? It is the allergy du jour...
I am allergic to some odd things. The worst one is cigarette smoke. NY has gone smoke free in our stores and restaurants, so I can avoid it easily enough. If I am stuck someplace with smoke, my sinuses go into overdrive and drain into my stomach at an alarming rate...then I am sick for days and take to my bed to “sleep it off”. Takes a couple of days to clear up all of that. My doctor laughed when I told him I was allergic to smoke...he questioned me for a few minutes and declared me allergic to it. Coconut has made me puke since I was a child and first tasted it. Once in awhile I would eat a cookie without knowing the contents. Yep, I can still puke from it even if I can eat it and can’t even tell it’s in there. Won’t use any lotions with coconut oil either. Very weird allergies.
Those are the same people who want Tchaikovsky banned because his CHRISTmas ballet is about a NUTcracker. (Horror!)
However, if they but knew he was GAY, all is forgiven.
(I know. I’m BAD)
