Haha, sorry, I just almost d8ed I really should've chosen something less inconvenient

Fr, I have an English walnut allergy and either it's fake or it's a but of a joke

ikr

Happened to my aunt. So dramatic and lazy to take an ambulance to the hospital like that 🤨

I can't have any mint and you know how many times I'm offered mint when I was at school? Too many times

Exactly 💯

A girl in the middle school I went to died because of her allergy,that said she was the one that thought it would just make her sick and she would be able to go home

This!! The same goes for all illnesses and disabilities that people say are just 'attention seeking'

I'm autistic and I have ADHD which i wish I didn't have either. I'm also allergic to penicillin and raspberries which I wish I wasn't allergic to either

Gold? Wow, gold is usually the least reactive of metals, that must be pretty rare. But yeah, I have a friend who’s allergic to onion & it’s so hard for her to eat out anywhere because so many things have it, even if it’s not fresh but like onion powder in a spice mix.

People that don't "believe" dietary restrictions boil my blood. It's not that hard to respect people's dietary choices no matter if they're fatal or not. I don't care if it's "your special recipe", and I say this as someone who's not allergic to anything, and is also an experimental eater. To me it's just the most selfish and disrespectful thing you can do to someone, is not do one singular tiny favour for them because YOU think you know better about their health and preferences. Such a selfish way of thinking, and I'm sorry what happened to your mother. She didn't deserve that.

@@BlueRoseFaery yea its crazy, she can do silver but gold she breaks out in hives and rashes everywhere

I'm severely allergic to onions. My grandma didn't believe me and put onions on tomato Bolognese and I had an anaphylactic reaction, thankfully my uncle ,who by the way is a nurse, had epinephrine in her kit injected me right away, after that day no one in my family doubted my allergy.

​@@BlueRoseFaerythe only type of gold and not allergic to is white gold and rose gold 😂

Thank god she did! That's horrific!

Good mom! That's insane that anyone would do that AND ignore the reaction.

Oh I know that kind of parent. The one who thinks you should built up your immune system. It works for some stuff but not these kinds.

@@Magami31 a tiny drop might build an immunity over time.. but you either have to test it and/or have a doctor test it. I know a streamer who was allergic to apples and slowly built up her tolerance

​@@Magami31those people have no idea how immune systems work. Allergies are not lack of immunity; it's an immune reaction going way overboard.

Omg! My sister’s mother-in-law just said “what even is anxiety. No one had that when I was growing up.” 🤦‍♀️

@@vegpuppy255 LMAOO

All those closet drinking housewives on benzos disagree.

That's a little different. Depression and anaphylaxis are a bit different. At a party, dropping dead while holding one's neck, gasping for air, is an attention getter. It is interesting that allergies have increased tremendously over the past few decades. Is the immune system not being trained at an early age? Kids are being kept too clean?

@@kwilliams2239 I think people just look into stuff that could potentially be allergies more often, like we used to just assume it was general unwellness and not name specific allergies and illnesses. Now people 'all of a sudden' have more allergies, when in reality they had them all along there's just names and treatments for them now

Not how that works. My allergies (oral mouth syndrome- horrible name) will only get worse with more exposure.

​@@lilliansnyder9113 pretty sure they are aware lol and just forgot to add quotations

​@@lilliansnyder9113 well if you eat them enough, technically...

My mom qhen I suddenly broke into hives. The cost of the medication I was on out weighed my own life....

Hit her back with “allergies are formed from the mother not consuming enough of said food during pregnancy . I guess if mothers stopped coddling themselves and ate a wider variety of food kids wouldn’t have so many allergies” .

I’m enraged even reading this.

Jesus Christ. Go no contact wtf

You had me looking at your comment for a minute straight, trying to figure out your double negative

I’m obsessed with cheese, and I don’t have issues. So I’m guess I’m not lactose intolerant 😂😂😂

@@AngieGrace120 neither am i. its a blessing lol

And I read somewhere some organisation in the US considers lactose intolerance a disability (and ~65% of people are lactose intolerant) (I'm disabled but I don't really care ig just funny)

​@@AngieGrace120 Cheese loses lactose as it ages. The more aged the cheese, the less lactose it will contain.

Yeah, it's like people don't know the epipen wasn't invented till 1980. So until literally 40 years ago, if you went into anaphylaxis, you were just screwed.

Mount Everest was discovered in 1852 but it still definitely existed then

YESSSS THANK YOU!!!! Most of my allergic reactions are swelling of the face and throat and the most prevalent ✨stomach pain✨ My grandparents don't believe that I'm actually allergic to melons, and corn because I don't full on keel over.

This!!! I have way too many allergies, most of them are just a bit annoying, rash here, sneezing there, not a big deal. But! Bring a cat close to me have cat hair on your clothes etc, and you're gonna have a real life rescue operation, yes, cats can kill me. And i carry epi everywhere. The other extremely bad is plain old grass, it doesn't kill me but i get another symptom. Urticaria. Yup, one step on grass without shoes or something between my foot and grass and i turn more red that over cooked shrimp from head to toe, then comes very painful, itchy and stingy bumps. That's why i have to use 4 different meds and damn, i can say it's not very fun to eat cortisone tablets for a few months. Trust me, i've tried to stop taking them many many many times...

about 1 and 2, the Hygiene Hypothesis is a Hypothesis, meaning we don’t currently have significant evidence to support it secondly, an allergic reaction is the body reacting to something it assumes to be a threat, a weaker immune system would lead to less severe reactions, not more reactions If anything, it would appear as if someone has less allergies than they do if their immune system was compromised because the severity might not even tip you off that it’s an allergic reaction But yea, 3 is also why people believe vaccines cause autism or allergies, as we get better at identifying diseases, autism, and allergies, we get better at treating and preventing diseases (vaccines) On the surface, it looks like Vaccines cause allergies and Autism if you’re looking for proof that they do i think the main reason is that it was more common for children to be forced to eat what’s on their plate and told to not whine about it than it is today

I agree with point 2 ​@@tacticallemon7518but on the other hand, isn't there some side effects of some viruses now that lead to funky autoimmune conditions like allergies

Improved hygiene - I would like to mention a surprising part of this is... PARASITES are actually really good for calming your immune system! I'm not talking about tapeworms or those kinds but most people have several small parasites and they generally get them as children when they ate dirt and stuff! And with new standards of clean children are exposed to so few common parasites that yeah ppl are more sensitive to foods and it can cause allergies It's actually to the point that if humans make it to other planets it would be beneficial to bring a couple jars of earth dirt for kids to play in

​@@tacticallemon7518 ya my moms severely allergic to seafood, she almost died several times in childhood and adulthood because people forced her to eat. I have celiac disease and people dont believe that until they see me have a reaction. The moral is some people are just cxnts

Also, 20 years ago, they told parents to avoid common allergens for the first few years. Now they realize it's better to introduce them early on.

That's so sad, I have the same reaction to dairy from cows, and it is incredibly hard to find things that don't bother my stomach. It's honestly sad that kids are more tolerant of allergies than adults, at least in my experience.

That's NOT a dairy allergy. You can have dairy that's lactose free and be fine. There is a difference between lactose intolerant and being allergic to dairy. You're NOT allergic to dairy itself

@jilldurham5498 I can't have dairy it causes pain in my stomach and I've tried lactose free stuff and it didn't work so I assumed I'm allergic cuz my doctor told me I'm not lactose intolerant so... yeah idk either I just don't eat dairy.

@jilldurham5498 milk and dairy allergies can present in different ways than typical allergies. On of the main signs of a dairy allergies are pains 8n the stomach and abdomen.

@@jilldurham5498YES YOU CAN! My lord, intolerance and allergies aren’t the same!

I'm so sorry to hear this. May she rest in peace. 😢

I'm so sorry for your loss

🫂

What a horrible thing to go through. I wish you the best and agree completely. As someone with lethal allergies it's not something to ever be taken as anything but life or death. Mine is wasps and I rarely go outside in the summer when they're active simply because it really is petrifying to know something like that can kill you

@@alicemirga2435 Yes! And you can't control wasps, they do what they want. That fear is completely understanding

But....how....how can....your own dad not know to take care around you......Or not want to take care around you. I'm sorry you have to experience that. That's so unkind.

Your more mature then your dad. That's sad

​@@ts4686alot of males fuck people can't pull out but also they act like a good father to their family so they stuck around neglecting the child they took 3secs to help create and the mother doesn't do shit cuz well they are usually also pos

Tell him that it's hygienic to wash his hands after eating anyway. If your life isn't that important to him maybe he'll care about his hygiene at least

“what would i touch that you would also touch?” my father in christ we’re in the same house

girlie needs to get some lactase or lactaid tablets 😭 edit: do people really think lactose intolerance is an allergy? basically every other mammal becomes lactose intolerant as it gets older 😭 bro

It's not an allergy but it might as well be. It's a reaction to food substances that have a negative effect on your well being. Milk products are common and have to be watched out for. You can spend a part of your life ingesting dairy and then suddenly develop the intolerance. Eating dairy is not racist yet but someday it will be.

My grandson carries lactose pils with him. he pops a pill or two before he has pizza, or ice cream, or whatever. Luckily he can do that, being Italian we eat a lot of cheese.

What did her toilet ever do to her to deserve such relentless cruelty!?

An intolerance isn't the same as an allergy. Allergy = immune response a.k.s. your immune system is going crazy in response to something. Intolerance = Your digestive system throws a fit about it. Both can vary from mild to severe and both can be deadly (anaphalaxis can kill you, so can severe dehydration from diarrhea). But a true allergy always involves an immune response. While an intolerance will generally only affect the digestive system.

I wasn't allergic to coconut until I was around maybe 10 years old and that started as an intolerance. Now at 19 I can't even be in a room where coconut products are open and it didn't become an actual allergy until I was 17. Allergies can start at any time and worsen at any time.

Yup! Exactly! I developed a few super weird allergies as I got older, and my sibling, the lucky jerk, managed to grow out of theirs 🙄 lol

Yeah I’m 33 and just recently developed an allergy to pineapple

Yep I am allergic to milk since I had my middle child. People think it's lactose and I actually get blisters in my mouth and my tongue swells but I have a friend like this mom. She thinks it's not real so she always looks for ways to try and get me to eat or drink things with milk

​@@juliefranco12that's so dangerous 😨

SAY IT LOUDER. same with mental health issues too. they always existed and the people who dismiss them probably went through them too.

Ah I remember that one. Is that the one where the grandmother had the audacity to ask when she could see the surviving grandchild and mother told her “bring me my daughter”?

drew talbert!! I was thinking of this exact video too 😂

Ohh yea! The bistro huddy one, where poppy wants her food cooked in butter and is “allergic to any other oil” or smth along the lines of that.

@@IzzyIzzy.yuhhhh poppy is “allergic” to all seed oils yeah 😂😂😂

Reminds me of a reddit story. Not an allergy, but a person with diabetes ordered diet soda. Server gives them regular soda for whatever BS reasoning (the syrup may have needed changed). Diabetic person's blood sugar skyrockets, which is bad. Server just says the customer didn't need to lose weight, so it shouldn't have been an issue.

@@arshellnut2730 Holy shit that is crazy!! 😮 I hope that person was ok

Bruh, my heart goes out to you... *And my fist goes out to anyone that said that to you.*

Yeah she's gonna accidentally kill a kid with allergies tbh

Ya she will murder someone then be oh what’s wrong I only gave them this food that they were deadly allergic too!

I feel like she’s the type to slip someone an allergen just to ‘prove’ they’re being overly dramatic.

@@cassiuswilkinson3390 I honestly think she will give the child the thing there allergic to just to prove that allergies aren’t real💀💀💀

@@Ashes_Remain This was a pretty scary story on Reddit. The kid was allergic to several things, including peanut butter, bananas, eggs, and more. The MiL apparently decided there’s no way her prefect little grand baby could be allergic so she baked several cookies with peanut butter and bananas to slip to the kid when the parents weren’t looking. Guess what. Kid goes into anaphylaxis. She survived though. Thank god

Tell that to my friend that has asthma and been hospitalized for it more than once

​@@MsBluebot thats a really bad argument cause "psychological things" can also cause needing hospitalisation.

@@-Foliage- that is true

My husband is severely lactose intolerant. He gets violently ill when he ingests dairy. He used lactaid and it has made a huge difference for him. We still go the extra mile when grocery shopping, but lactaid is great when we eat at restaurants.

You're gonna have a blast once you start looking for sugar and its multiple names... A lot of foodstuff has ingredients you wouldn't expect. Or just filter trash like modified starch.

Check medications with your pharmacist, too, a lot have it added as a filler as well 🫤

That's NOT a food allergy.

Sister is in your situation too, salad oil has milk in it. Fucking ridiculous.

Yet, they don't have allergies yet. From what my allergist has told me if both parents have a history of allergies or the families have a history of allergies then there is a good chance of the children having allergies or developing them later in life. Just a heads up for them to be on guard for the future.

I feel that! Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy when I say I'm allergic to cashew nuts but not others? They don't believe me till I eat it and then watch me get itchy eyes, my tongue had blisters and be extremely itcy and sore. But clearly isn't an allergy apparently .....

Oh I don't think I am but mint always makes me sick to the stomach from the smell and the taste. So I don't have gum or use mint toothpaste either but your allergy is most likely rashes and or swelling right?

@@Bella-Bell-tp7ge I get hives all over my body and makes my stomach twist and turn it feels like and/ or I throw up from the nausea too

That's a weirdly inconvenient allergy. I'm sorry

@@Calcanthite eh it's fine even my own family forgets lol

@@sarahannemchugh7227 so what flavor toothpaste do you buy lol

Don't forget that it was also legal to give kids secondhand smoke in classrooms back then!

Was it a fancy restaurant? I went to one of those fancy restaurants and had to reiterate every time I ordered that I was allergic to nuts because they didn't seem on it. Was fine until it got to desserts and I ordered raspberry sorbet. It came out with red crushed up biscuits that we were 99% sure were macarons. Luckily I'm not allergic to almonds but the waitress wasn't getting our concerns and kept saying "it's just edible decoration", so we asked for her manager and he wasn't getting our concerns so we asked to speak to the head chef who finally worked out their mistake and profusely apologised. It really boggles my mind how carefree people without allergies live.

I have lived my life basically allergy free. When I joined the Navy in the early 2000s NKDA, no known drug allergies, became a pretty common thing to list on all medical forms. Eventually I got out and my fiance wanted to practice her special effects. From out of litterally nowhere...I learn I am severely allergic to latex. Like my skin forms blisters just from being in contact with any form of it. Recently, my fiance went glutten free, flavor didn't matter to me anyways due to covid messing up my taste. On the good side most stuff prominately labels whether it contains gluten or not...on the bad side there are products which one would expect to be gluten free and I now understand the need for the gluten free label. It is so important that if we can't tell, we tend to not buy it. The difference in my fiances gut health is super noticeable. It is frustrating because people seem to genuinely not care and it really is a problem we need to address as a society. I really do feel for anybody who has to live with people like the lady in this video who believes allergies are made up.

@@pippylunalove - yup it was lol and I agree it boggles my mind too....bet if someone ended up going into Anaphylactic shock they'd maybe start thinking twice

I like this plot twist :)

Typical life period to fuck you over like that, my condolences.

Unfortunately you can't punish everyone just because some people might be lying.

@@loleo64trust me, it’s not just “a few” people who lie about it. I’ve used to work in the restaurant industry for years and the amount of times I’d overhear people talking at a table about a dish that they wished came w/ or w/out this particular ingredient or whatever & then I’d hear another person quietly tell them “just tell the waiter you’re allergic to that & ask them to replace it whatever you want” 🙄😑🤦‍♀️ Or they’d tell us oh I’m deathly allergic to mushrooms or something & so their server would come back and ask the cook to make it separately from everything else due to the persons “allergy” & we’d have to be super careful when bringing out their food to make sure we didn’t have any trace of whatever the food was on our hands and then the next week the same person would come in and order the steak smothered in mushrooms & onions thinking either the server wouldn’t remember them or that since I wasn’t their server that night I wouldn’t know they had lied about it 🙄 I’ve actually pulled a Nicole from the bistro huddy videos & called a few of these people out & let me tell you their faces would be priceless 😂 or they’d try to lie again and say they got over the allergy or “a new medication came out that allows them to eat whatever they want” so I’d ask them what that med was bc my kid is also deathly allergic to______ & they would stammer all over the place or I’d just outright call them a liar and tell them that they’re making it hard on people who actually have allergies. So yeah for every 1 or 2 people that would come in with an actual allergy there was at least 10 that would lie.

i honestly dont really see why it matters when people fake it, unless they're spreading dangerous information about allergies, the worst case scenario is that they get an allergy-free food

How are people still making these points unironically though, why did anyone ever bother burning books when nobody wants to understand shit anyways, like its some kind of psychological need/defense mechanism

@@loleo64 Punish, no, but there is something called "crying wolf".

Unfortunately, people faking allergies because of preferences or fads is a thing for restaurants. Just a select few making everything harder for the rest of us like always.

had a friend swear she was allergic to cinnamon but she ate carrot cake and banana nut bread a lot,, both being things that have cinnamon in not insubstantial quantities

​@@arshellnut2730 How do you know who is faking and who is not? No one is required to provide medical evidence of their allergy, how tf does anyone "prove" they have an allergy without getting sent to the ER? There is NO WORLD where anyone faking anything should lower the standards of an establishment to risk someone's life by ignoring their allergy. Do NOT put that on the people faking, put that ENTIRELY on the horrible establishments using that as an excuse for getting people killed.

There are actually cats that don't trigger allergic reactions! There's a specific protein or oil in cat hair that triggers the allergic reaction and some cats have been bred to not produce that protein/oil! I forget what it's called exactly but there are hypoallergenic cats! Just look up "hypoallergenic cats" and you can see different breeds that (hopefully) won't give you an allergic reaction!

if theyre allergy friendly depends on what part of them ur allergic 2

Have you seen the new thing with chicken eggs and cat allergies? It's fascinating, but if you raise chickens with cats, they'll start to make a thing for cat allergens. Then you take the eggs and feed them to the cats, and the cats stop making the allergen. It's really wild, but I swear it's a real thing. So now, you can buy anti-allergen cat food to make your cats not give you allergies! Don't take my word for it, ask Google.

I really hope she at least got convicted of manslaughter charges! That's horrible! By definition she purposely put a child in physical mortal danger. Murder would be a more accurate charge, but in today's world I don't believe that one would stick. Everything has to have a ton of evidence to stick, if this happened in the US.

Throw away the key I say.

I was literally looking for this comment!

all im saying is look at how we are starting to become allergic to everything, not just say we are just allergic to things now because thats not the case all the time

Food allergies and intolerances have always existed like diabetes and asthma have always existed as health issues. We're just better at identifying it now and those with more severe cases aren't dying in childhood the way they used to. Like no duh people seem to have more varied allergies, when the kids allergic to rarer things before had deadly reactions, they died. Just like when asthmatic people used to have asthma attacks, they died. And when diabetic people used to have their blood sugars spike to hell, they died. Turns out when people stop dying, more people with these issues, are alive, at the same time, rather than in graves by the age of 8.

Omg 😑🙄
