I want to know if I am alone...?


Question:
I need to know if I am alone on this....have you ever wanted to try something that you are allergic to.....I was 5 and almost died from an allergic reation to strawberries....thing is I want to taste one REALY bad....sometimes I think if sitting with my epi pen at the ready and trying one....anyone else feel like that?

Answers:
I am allergic to peanuts and oranges! I developed the allergies as an adult. I get hives and other icky things when I consume them--not death. But I really missed peanut butter. So once a year I would make a pb sandwich and take my chances. But I don't need to do that any more. You know, you might have outgrown your allergy! Call an allergist and get tested. But DO NOT kill yourself over a red berry!
Not having any allergies.....I can't imagine what it would be like to have such a severe allergic reaction. Might I suggest before trying this, you might want to discuss it with your Doctor. Maybe he/she can suggest a better way to try strawberries.
