i learned that if you are highly allergic to peanuts it is possible to die from being given oral sex by someone who has eaten peanut butter within the last few hours (x)
I heard a story somewhere that a boy ate a peanut butter cookie, brushed his teeth and thoroughly washed his mouth out with mouthwash to remove all traces of it, and he didn’t eat any more peanut butter for two days because he knew his girlfriend was deathly allergic to peanuts.
He kissed his girlfriend when he saw her again. Her throat swelled shut and she died despite all efforts to revive her. She’d reacted to a trace amount of peanut butter cookie too small to see, smell or taste.
And that’s why if someone says they have a food allergy, I take it deadly serious.
