My doctor thinks that I may be allergic to a fungus that is endemic to the American peanut crop, not necessarily the nuts themselves, due to the way I react to them. Either way, they are off the list for me.

I *so* did not like the upped allergic response this time. I recently read on a friend's journal a similar experience, and I find myself flashing to that as a "things get worse over time," as my wanting to minimize the trouble it is ends up not matching reality.

"Yeah, not exaggerating," hits that right on the nose.
