So I have a severe allergy to a particular food - not saying what it is here because it’s a bit unusual but can be more but not exclusively eaten this time of year.(it is not mince pies nor Xmas cake!) Bring and share are most difficult because even very small cross contamination can give me AS.
Yes I have an epi pen but even they are not without risk at my age. So avoidance is the best way.
I belong to a club and the xmas bring and share was today. . Because no specific notice was given about my allergy beforehand , just a general one about allergies in general , someone brought that food type along.
They were going to put it out nevertheless, with contamination a real risk. I put it to the leader that they didn’t seem to take allergies seriously.
First she told me that I could have just brought my own stuff- I did that last year and it felt distinctly unfestive.
She went on to tell me that she has an allergy to eggs and milk.
The issue was sorted but the later I saw her eating the cake I had bought and several other things with milk and eggs in . I can’t see how she can have an allergy to those, stuffing her face with them.
She doesn’t have an allergy does she? Intolerance maybe or even just a dislike ?
And that is why she won’t take my allergy seriously.
