    That’s interesting, thanks. I see some serious flaws in the methodology and I’m sure it’s too late for me.

    I disagree that most serious reactions are mistakes. In my experience, most serious reactions are intentional from people that are too stupid or
    uncaring and deliberately give peanut allergic people peanuts like the psychotics at Chick-fil-A. People everywhere just don’t believe you’re allergic and dose you to prove to you that you’re wrong.

    I’d also want to know what they do about people that are allergic to
    peanuts airborne. I don’t have to eat the damn stuff.

    Most interesting to me was the fact that he has to eat peanuts and he hates peanuts. I always wondered if I hated peanuts just because I knew they’d
    make me sick.

    I'm sorry to hear that. Still, this may prove to be a way to address the problem successfully in younger generations.

    uncaring and deliberately give peanut allergic people peanuts like the psychotics at Chick-fil-A. People everywhere just don’t believe you’re allergic and dose you to prove to you that you’re wrong.

    I don't know what to say to that. I don't want to think people are that
    callous but it's not that hard to think they are simply careless and
    clueless. I remember the first time I heard about schools that banned
    peanut butter sandwiches for lunch or snacks because of the possibility
    that someone who'd had one could simply breathe on someone with a peanut allergy and make them very sick or even kill them. I simply found this impossible to believe because I'd never heard of this kind of
    anaphylactic shock. But then it turned out to be true.

    I’d also want to know what they do about people that are allergic to peanuts airborne. I don’t have to eat the damn stuff.

    Good question.

    Most interesting to me was the fact that he has to eat peanuts and he hates peanuts. I always wondered if I hated peanuts just because I knew they’d make me sick.


    The one fact would seem to lead to the other, at least intuitively. But
    human psychology is full of twists and turns so I'd hate to make a
    categorical assumption because someone is bound to come along and
    disprove it.

    I remember a woman I knew at the co-op who had 200-odd allergies,
    including to cats, but she loved cats and had at least one as I recall.
    She loved the cat(s) even more than she hated the symptoms she had as a
    result of them being around her.

    Same with me and coconut. I despise the taste of coconut and if I eat it in
    any measurable quantity, it makes me sick. Not going-to-the-hospital-with-life-threatening-symptoms sick, but just a general nausea and belly ache.

    I've always wondered if I hate coconut because it makes me sick. If it didn't, would I like the taste?

    That's logical. Your brain is attempting to protect you from harm.

    Have you ever had coconut in the wild like they serve the tourists in
    Hawaii? I hate shredded coconut and German chocolate cake and that kind of thing but when they just hand you half a coconut I found it delicious.

    I could never bring myself to eat cashew butter because it just seems like it’s peanut butter in disguise. I used to love macadamia nut brittle until
    I got a canister of it that was peanut brittle in the bottom.
    I bought it in Sandy Eggo and happily munched it all the way home to
    Phoenix and luckily didn’t hit the poison until I was a short way from
    home.
