I have two relatives who’s kids have bad allergies.
One brings her own meals for her kids to family events.
The other...publishes long lists of things her kids may not have under penalty of death and makes certain to loudly bring up her kids allergies to anyone within earshot. If they don’t react, she makes sure to be even louder. The amazing thing is that we’ve seen her kids eat forbidden foods on numerous occasion with no effects. I really believe that she has some Munchausens type thing going on where she literally gets off on the medical problems of her kids because she gets lots of attention. They spend so much time at the doctor that I’m certain they are making his monthly Porsche payment.
No family like that, but a few years ago some biddy raises hell at me on a plane flight about the peanuts I’m eating. Seems she was allergic to them. I told her she was not eating them, I was. If the smell sets off your allergies, then get off the plane and go home, ‘cuz I’m certainly not going to give up eating them. Especially after demanding I throw them away.
I took a mouthful, munching happily, and started breathing out a zone of peanut breath plasma around my seat. She survived.
