I hate how my allergies make me seem like a republican.

Can't eat sunflowers so people think I hate "seed oils" (the other ones are fine, it's just the sunflowers they are deadly)

Can't eat most vegan meats because these people always want to put sunflowers 'n nuts and chickpeas in them.

Generally suspicious of vegan food because of the whole nut issue, even though I really like it when there are no nuts.

What makes this worse is restaurants who can't tell you their ingredients lists. I just give up and get the most basic foods.

Then there are the things that no one believes: like the "shelled peanut problem"

I can eat peanuts, love them! but not if they have been shelled in a "facility" because whatever they do it gets some kind of other nut dust on them and down i go! Toss me the epipen it's gonna be a long night.

Allergies are so odd. Obscure but serious ones are annoying.

@futurebird I used to think I was allergic to peanuts and was surprised when I didn't test for it. It turns out many peanuts are processed on equipment shared with cashews and that's what I'm allergic to!

YUP.

If you get peanuts in the shell you will be safe and can enjoy them.

But shelling peanuts is a bit tedious.
