Another weird question for y'all: If you are moderately allergic* to a thing and had been eating it anyway for years because you didn't know, and then when you figure out what you're allergic to you quit eating it at all, can you lose your ability to tolerate even a little bit of it? *a phrase which here means "probably severely allergic but can tolerate small amounts when on antihistamines"

#the person behind the yarn #allergy mention #food mention #I am not sure what I reacted to so severely today #and based on what I ate yesterday there's a chance my burger was cross contaminated with pickle juice #so I could be vinegared?#and it could be that this is just what vinegar allergic reactions are for me now #or it could be the german chocolate baking chocolate bar which I've never had before #or it could be my usual antihistamines but from a new manufacturer so new inactive ingredients #which means tonight instead of my usual double dose of off brand allegra I took benadryl #(DO NOT use my antihistamine usage as a guide. I take very high levels as directed by my doctors)#(seriously for most people this is both overkill and a bad idea)
