Mead girl learns to cope with peanut allergy

[cddisk123]

I'm in the same position as seungrivip94. I'm 19 and I've grown up with this allergy. I read labels on everything and ask waiters and cooks at restaurants about peanut oil and cross-contamination. The simplest trips like to get ice cream are difficult because these people use the same scoops for every ice cream tub! No, these people don't understand and the issue needs to be addressed properly! I've had this allergy since I was at least 1 year old. I've had this allergy since before the spike.

I've grown up with this allergy. My diet is pretty restricted...but the way i see it...if you've never tried the food, you don't miss it. I'm sixteen now and I've been reading ingredients on labels since I could read. Hah. I've even caught peanuts on things my day care people tried to feed me.

@rockhound694u Oh-how do you look at yourself in the mirror? Just wait til someone you love develops something deadly. And that day will come, unfortunately. Then you'll learn a little empathy and perhaps some tolerance.

[rockhound694u]

@1stHixish ITS REAL EASY YOU STAND IN FRONT OF IT AND LOOK AT IT. ITS YOUR TOLERANCE THAT MAKES US WEAK AS A SPECIES! I BET YOU LOVE RETARDED PEOPLE ALSO. ITS REAL SIMPLE IN NATURE. IF YOU ARE RETARDED OR CAN'T EAT THINGS YOU DIE. NATURE IS GREAT.

@rockhound694u You are clearly disturbed and incapable a linear thought. Though I am forturnately neurologically intact (and belong to MENSA), statements like yours, displaying the most simplistic of logic,(plus the 'all caps' messages) make one question your development.

Our species is remarkably strong; or did you forget we're at the top of the food chain. Further, it is not "natures plan" that industry should use legume and tree nut oils in so much of our processed foods. So nah!

@PeaceMaker137 More than anything I feel sorry for her, her parents are using her for attention and exposing this little girl for their own agenda!!!

Being exposed to peanuts and peanut products would help her build a tolerance...I'm so sick of this "hey look at me" attitude these people get... Its goddamn life deal with it...But no the parent love the attention!
