Today, I forgot my boyfriend was allergic to nuts and ate Nutella toast before he arrived. He had just brought me flowers for doing well in an exam and I kissed him. He had a reaction and I had to stab him in the leg. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I gave my boyfriend a box of chocolates as a present. A few hours later, he texted me saying that the box of chocolates contained nuts. He's allergic to nuts and his mother now thinks I'm trying to kill him. FML
Today, I walked in on my boyfriend and best friend making out. His explanation was that he was trying to stop her from having an allergic reaction to peanut butter. FML
Today, I had to go to the ER because of a terrible allergic reaction I had to the cookies my "friend" made for me. She assured me several times that there were no nuts in them. Turns out, she put nuts in them on purpose, to see whether or not I was really allergic. FML
Today, I lit candles and scattered rose petals on the floor and on the furniture to surprise my girlfriend. When she came in, she sneezed uncontrollably because apparently she’s extremely allergic to these particular roses. The night ended with me driving her to the ER instead of dinner. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with severe nut allergies. My dad decided to buy jars of Nutella, write "You know you want this" on them, and stick them around the house. FML
Today, my boyfriend’s mom fed me a new dish containing peanuts, knowing full well I’m severely allergic. According to her, her ancestors “cured” allergies by exposing the person to the allergen. I went into anaphylactic shock. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a fancy chocolate candy and I got angry at him for forgetting that I'm allergic to chocolate and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Turns out, he had spent a ton of money getting a chocolatier to put an engagement ring inside the candy that I just destroyed. FML
Today, I was being playful with my boyfriend and put a chocolate between my legs. He bit the chocolate. My lips too... FML
Today, I had to drive my girlfriend to the hospital because she had a severe allergic reaction to the flowers I brought her. FML
Today, I got my first kiss. He had an allergic reaction to my chapstick, and broke out in hives. FML

Had this happen to me. Not fun at all. Hope he's okay and don't feel too bad, you forgot. It happens occasionally

Should have made your username "nut hunter." Really missed your chance there

Hopefully he's doing fine now. On the plus side though, you get to tell people you stabbed your boyfriend! Just imagine the pranks you could pull with that.

don't take it out on yourself; it was an accident and you were saving him
PennyLane27 32
Yeah....and she was the one that almost killed him. She Needs to feel bad about it so she'll Learn from it.

Sh wouldn't have had to save him if she hasn't almost killed him in the first place...

Nothing brings you closer than saving your boyfriend with an epipen.

My boyfriend has a pineapple allergy it isn't severe, but I wouldn't risk eating pineapple before seeing him :(

That's not how karma usually works

I hope you'll be more careful next time. Because Epi Pens aren't guaranteed to work. It's fortunate that his did or he would have died. You'll need to adjust your lifestyle too for his safety- not just food, but things like lotions or shampoo. Anything with extra vitamin E likely has nut oil. Shea butter? That is a nut product. Want to go out to eat? Better make sure the place doesn't cook with nut oil. .....even burger joints do sometimes. It seems like a lot to consider, but I'm sure he will help you adapt. you get used to checking labels and avoiding certain products after a while.

I'm severely allergic to nuts, and epipens are guaranteed to work for enough time to get to a hospital. The drug opens your airway and stops the production of histamines. Also, as long as you are at a decent restaurant (no street food) almost all places accommodate for allergies.

Yah her comment seemed a little over board. My husbands allergic to bees and should have an epi pen but he won't have it and doesn't worry about it. In 7 years he's never been stung by a bee since I've known him. I've had more reactions to chocolate than he's had to bees.

Ya, if you're going to go out with someone with that severe of an allergy, than op needs adapt to his lifestyle. Cut out all nuts. That way you won't have an accident like this (which is totally understandable and can easily happen; everyone makes mistakes) again. Plus if you marry him you'd have to adapt anyway.

I do carry an epi pen for bee stings and severe food allergies including nuts. I've also been administered epinephrine. The rate of failure is pretty low, but can happen for a number of reasons- mechanical, user error, having it for too long, not timing the injection right, and sometimes resistance to the medication, etc. Complications from epinephrine can also be quite severe in some patients. For me, it agitates heart arrythmia, which could potentially be fatal. For others, renal failure could occur. So yeah epipen is great for increasing your odds of surviving something you'd otherwise definitely die from. But it's not something to take lightly. It's not the same as taking medicine for a headache or something. Avoidance of the allergen is the best.

If i was allergic to nutella, i would die. Literally

If you were allergic you wouldn't know what it tastes like.

I used to not be allergic to things I'm allergic to now, like peanuts. But, the WORST is missing shellfish. Things like nutella can be made with substitutes... but even imitation crab has bits of crab in it.

I'm allergic to other kinds of nuts, but I still can't eat Nutella in case of contamination. Before I found out I was allergic to nuts, I ate Nutella, so I had 14 years of Nutella even so i am allergic.
