ROFL!! Me, too!! I demand an eco-nut free environment. LOL!! ~<\:OD
Kidding aside....a few years ago, in my late 40's, I had a severe allergic reaction to peanuts. But, a few weeks prior to that, I had a reaction to pea soup. Doc said peas and peanuts were in the same food family (never double checked him, tho). And, prior to that, I had yet another severe allergic reaction to sulfa (triple antibiotic cream, for a burn on my arm). Doc said I had "over-filled my allergy bucket," whatever the heck that means. I guess I was blessed because the swelling traveled up (my face was bigger than Elephant Man's, I kid you not, and a major case of hives all over my bod) rather than down and possibly closing off my airways. I'm resigned to spending the rest of my life without Reece's Peanut Butter Cups. Boo hoo!
I tend to think the parents over-react and the kids pick up on it. My aunt once had a reaction to hot dogs (hives and vomiting). She has never had a hot dog since and gags when she smells them. The weird thing is that I think I picked up on her disgust for them and kind of gag when I smell hot dogs, too. I only eat Hebrew Nationals, when I eat them (which is very rarely), because they're supposedly kosher -- they "answer to a Higher Authority." hehehe.
I hereby demand a hot dog free environment, too!
Thanks for the belly laugh, kiddo.
