Comment on Funny how there were no food allergies
Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 week agoEven back in the 2000s to 2010s, I didn’t have a food allergy because ‘hazelnuts make my mouth itch so much I struggle to breathe’ meant I was a picky eater. I didn’t have ADHD and autism, I just needed to grow up and get serious about school, and was a weird nerd at the same time. Meltdown because the sun shone in my face for too long? Grow the fuck up. I also wasnt queer, I was just a tomboy that would have a glow up eventually and become a feminine woman.

Had a similar problem, though not as severe, with certain fruits. Cherries, peaches, apples, pears,…
I thought it would be solved when I mentioned it at allergologist as a kid when I was there wirh my mom. She just said “yes, that’s related to your pollen allergies, don’t eat them.”
Problem solved, right? No. Queue the “but they’re homegrown” and “apples are part of Christmas tradition” arguments. How does that help?
