Speaking of Hot Dogs 🌭 What do You Like on Yours?

65. Can't eat hot dogs or bologna

I break out with sebaceous cysts on my neck and face. Very scary because it's so sudden I can actually feel them forming. It's like a twister within my skin and then a hard and sometimes painful lump, depending where it is.

Fortunately I was diagnosed fairly quickly when this surfaced in 1995. I was eating bologna every day courtesy of my roommate who loved bologna sandwiches and chips. An internal medicine specialist did an evaluation, asked me questions, and pinpointed it to a chemical preservative in hot dogs and bologna.

I only strayed once and sure enough the cysts returned.

When I could eat hot dogs I liked them fried with the buns lightly toasted and plenty of relish, ketchup and chopped onions.
