i saw your tag abt peanut butter, did you develop an allergy? :0

Oh no; I've had an allergy to tree nuts since I was a toddler! But I did have a period of time (like 18yo-24ish?) where as long as i took a Benadryl immediately after eating it, I could have some peanut food things (like paydays. and butterfinger, my god i miss butterfingers. all the good peanut desserts and even just chocolate covered ones!!) and basically no reaction as long as I took the Benadryl IMMEDIATELY. I only forgot once or twice and regretted it lol, it was Hives and Itching and Stomach Upset City

As of the last four years, I've had three major reactions thanks to my more severe nut allergies that come with anaphylaxis (like walnuts, cashews, all the ones that taste so damn good 😭 not as good as peanuts tho akdnfkgngn), two of which required me to hit the ER (and finally got my ins to cover epi pens for me! Didn't get any ins to cover them and mum couldn't afford them out of pocket, so I got my first ones at like 28 lmaooo) and since then I'm a bit more reactive to all tree nuts and have to be more careful abt food options and cross contamination. Luckily tho still not nearly as careful as other folks with nut allergies have to be tho, a quick Benadryl or two once I realise a reaction is happening helps for the not-quite-as-bad-reaction nuts so I'm not miserable, and helps the far-worse-reaction nuts nonsense calm down till I can get to a doctor with some sweet sweet IV Benadryl and whatever else they pumped me full of the last time I wound up there 😅
