(21,046 posts)The last time I did I had some chopped barbecue in a tub. I don't know how much tomato was in it.
I went to bed and could barely crawl to the bathroom for two days, I was so exhausted. My allergies make me quite tired, including my animal hair/pollen/inhalant allergies. When I mess with trimming plants and pulling weeds my arms and hands will break out in a rash and itch.
I also had a seriously painful rear end straining with bunny pellets (I know that's TMI) but it's the truth.
Back in high school I ate pizza and it would come back up an hour later. So my reaction to tomatoes/bell peppers/spicy peppers/any pepper that is botanically a fruit has gotten worse over the decades.
Fortunately I have never had anything that caused anaphylactic shock, but I have been pretty miserable at times. Took antihistamines/decongestants/etc. and still felt awful.
I'm glad I didn't get to know that guy any better TOO!!! Thank you. Why people get offended at what we don't eat, or do eat, I really don't know. It's none of their goddamn business.
