There’s this infamous peanut story.......the young girl was an athlete.....with a peanut allergy.
She had a bowl of the famous chili at a restaurant....no one associates chili with peanuts.
However the chef had a secret ingredient....peanut butter to thicken the chili.
The girl did get all the symptoms but b/c she had not eaten peanuts, she ignored them......and died.
I dated a woman in Boston a few times and she had a known shellfish allergy. We dined one night at a famous seafood restaurant on the waterfront and she ordered lobster. I had always thought food allergies were overblown, but not after what I saw happened to her. It didn’t take long for hives to break out and, before a couple hours had passes, she was covered with them. Fortunately, no anaphylactic shock problems, just discomfort.
That was the worst ending to a romantic night out I ever had!
If someone has a life threatening allergy, they should know not to eat anything they didn’t prepare themselves. Period. No excuses. No blaming others.
