Guess what? I'm allergy free!

[Smokeville]

35 years ago I learned I was allergic to salmon, shrimp, lobster and crab.

For the past two years I have smoked salmon for my dear wife, daughters and daughter-in-law.

I decided to get re-tested, and sure enough, I'm allergy free.

I have 35 years of salmon eating to catch up on, so excuse me while I go and defrost some.......

The irony would be that after all these years I don't like salmon......

That's great news Rich.

On the flip side, my daughter recently learned that after eating shrimp for 15 years, now she is allergic!

Growing up I was allergic to ALL shell fish and 100's of other things.

About the only thing I can not eat now is Crab.

Life is good!

But like FLBR's daughter, my daughter did the reverse.

I feel bad for them both.

Allergies are funny things.

That would be terrible, developing an allergy instead of losing one. But, as I think about it, when I was in public and early high school, my mother often made salmon sandwiches and I never remember being ill. My first reaction was to shrimp when I was 16 or 17, the 1st time I had Chinese food.

So, FLBR, maybe your daughter will grow out of it.

I kept thinking I should be re-tested for the past 10 years.

Congrats Smokeville. I know I would be doing alot of make up eating for the many years of not being able to. As a baby I was allergic to all milk except soya milk. We only got powdered milk as children which I was able to drink. Then when I was about 8 my grampa gave me whole unpastuerized cows milk. Man was that stuff good. I ended up completely covered in hives but it was worth it. My mom freaked out when I came home from spending the weekend there. She had me so covered in calmine lotion I looked like a pink bunny from hell. Over the years I kept drinking it when I was at his house and eventually grew out of the allergy. I am also allergic to cats dogs and anything with fur but we always had pets. My childhood was spent with pockets full of kleanex and runny noses. But I wouldn't be without them.

What's the old saying .... What don't kill you, makes you stronger.

Good for you Rich.  Now make up a pot of Boulibase with all those nasty ingredients.  Have the EMS standing by.

When I was a kid, I was allergic to everything.  Pretty much grown out of it now.  It's funny how it can come and go.

I have become allergic to WORK!

I break out in a sweat just thinking about it.

I'll have nightmares tonite. ;D

Have the EMS standing by.

The doctor said that if I was still concerned, I could bring some salmon to his office and eat it there. Of course, that meant I could share with the staff, although he didn't say that.....

You should start slowly Rich.  Send some salmon to my house, I'll eat it and you can see how you feel.  ;D
