A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Leaky ballon knot
Today, as usual I am allergic to onions (I fart A LOT if I eat any). It seems there were some in my breakfast sausage meal as I spent the day having major diarrhea; I'm shitting once an hour. That would be okay if I'd stayed home, but my sister asked me to pick her up at school. Guess who shit herself while driving… FML

No fun
Today, I got back the results of an allergy test I decided to get because I felt generally tired after meals. Turns out that I'm allergic to, among other things, meat (yep, is a thing), nuts (of course), milk, egg, rice, carrot, apple, yeast (as in bread), and even soy. Seems I'm allergic to… food. FML
Itchy
Today, I found out I'm allergic to soil, pollen, dust, mold, the colors green, yellow, orange, black and grey, most metals, wood, carpet, drywall, most hygiene and beauty products, and plastic. Basically, I was told to avoid the entire planet and everything man-made. FML

Today, I found out that I am allergic to one of the preservatives that they put in aloe. I found this out after I put some on a severe sunburn I have. Not only am I sunburned, but now I am severely itchy as well. FML

One Angry Vegan
Today, marks 2 weeks since I got Oral Allergy Syndrome, a.k.a. randomly becoming allergic to apples, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, mangos, carrots, celery, beets, sunflower seeds, fennel, my toothpaste, and more things I just haven't tried yet. I'm vegan. FML

Today, I went on a date with a guy. I looked at the menu and yelled, "Who puts caramel on onions? EW!" I then learned that "caramelized onion" is not caramel covered onions. FML

They're not in candy. You abuse "literally" and the asterisks surrounding "everything" by using them in a statement that is patently false.

If you're eating onion ice cream, whatever happens is your own fault for even going near such an abomination.

Now that sucks, as you have to avoid red onions, green onions, shallots, chives, leeks (better safe than sorry), and even garlic looks kinda sus. Maybe you can tell everyone that you're on the FODMAP diet so restaurants let you bring your Tupperwares full of ginger-based dishes and PBJ sandwiches.

Apparently some people have had success freezing onions and using them when defrosted. Worth a try?

All of a sudden you became "allergic"? Could it be an adverse reaction and not a true allergy? See an expert; there may be ways for you to still enjoy onions.
