Funny but I dunno if I buy it tbh, using an EpiPen alone is a medical emergency requiring medical attention. It's not something you can just shake off.

Dude must be rolling in dough. Those pens aren’t cheap.

One of my best friends has a mild shellfish allergy. He swells up and turns red, but it's not bad enough to require an EpiPen. On multiple occasions, I have seen him go nuts at a shellfish buffet until he balloons up and looks like a tomato, then he pops a Benadryl and sleeps it off.

Personally, I hate shellfish. Especially the smell of it. So I lie to people and tell them I am allergic, so they shut the fuck up about getting me to try it.

this is unironically my plan for tomorrow night.

Im allergic to shellfish and I discovered imitation crab from a meme (fittingly on Lemmy) which is only like 5% actual crab.

However, my allergy started as a kid and just got worse and worse till I eventually couldn't eat it at all anymore, it's been like 5 years.

Since we don't know if the allergy got to deadly levels in that time, I have to be around an epi-pen when I eat it.
My brother in law has one, so I'm going to his house after work.

I'll keep you updated 🫡

edit, update 1: finished work for the day. headed to brother in laws house in about an hour! super excited.

edit 2: im so upset.

they were frozen last night so I actually left them to thaw overnight. I mentioned to my sister about how people said to microdoce it, so I only warmed up 1 in the microwave with some butter just in case I had a bad reaction.
When I ate it the texture was super chewy and slimy almost, not very fun. The flavor was hardly the real thing, and the worst part: IT GAVE ME A HEADACHE.
I am so distrought. My hopes were so high. it let me down:((

I might try microdoceing a quarter before bed or something for a couple weeks. Since it is only a headache I feel like I can work myself up to bigger parts - if I can sleep through the headaches that is.

at the end of the day It was a nice try and I'm glad I tried it :/

I farmed shellfish for six years. I do not eat shellfish. I mean, more power to you, but at least cook the little shits, for everyone's sake.

King... Of the idiots?

Wait, was his name Donald?

My ex housemate used to be allergic to dairy, not deathly though.

He'd still eat a full pizza every friday to himself, then spend a few hours throwing up in the toilet.

Was worth it apparently

'Okay, let's see, how much this bullet is going to hurt...'

My Dad is allergic to shellfish. I'm not but hadn't eaten any in years when I had a shellfish pasta dish a few months ago and felt high for hours after.

This is one of those "bacon tho" things that combine human selfishness with animal cruelty and top it off with Darwin award level of stupidity.
