61. It's no joke for sure

My best friend of like 30 years had many food allergies and they brought on REAL reactions. She was pretty diligent about checking out food for things like almonds that were diced and not easily recognized. Or asking if something was cooked in peanut oil, etc etc. More than once we had to go to an ER because of something that was in her meal that she didn't know about. She would have anything from just hives or swollen lips or itching palms to swelling tongue/throat. Thankfully she never had a serious life threatening reaction. But I always had some benedryl in my purse and glove compartment to give her time to get to a dr just in case it was needed.
