Default Shrimp > Me

Couldn't find anything but a bag full of frozen shrimp and cocktail sauce. I'm allergic to most shell fish but decided to eat them anyway because I was starving.

Now I feel like crap. :wtc:

On the subject of allergies... There used to be a kid up the street that was deathly allergic to peanuts. We couldn't even go outside to play if any of us had any contact with any kind of food that MIGHT have even come within smelling distance. Wanted to go play? Go take a bath, brush teeth and change to fresh clothes first.

Poor kid was in the ER more than in school cause of peanuts.

My nephew is allregic to peanuts. Its not that severe, but it is pretty close. Allergies suck, but they're a lot worse for a kid to have I think. I never had em... :yay: Thats too bad about the shrimp allergy. I would hate that! But, I dont feel all that sorry for you for feeling sick.

"Im allergic to shrimp, I think I'll eat some." <<<< not a smart sthought.

bullshit.

maybe she's allergic to something they put in water (i.e. chlorine, fluoride, etc.) but how is it possible to be allergic to something that you're more than half made of?

I'm not a doctor but they said the water had to come into contact with her SKIN to promote the allergic reaction. For instance, if she cried, blisters would follow. Same with blood, saliva, or any other bodily fluid.
