Morning
again, guys…
So, let me
set up the scenario:
I’ve got a
peanut allergy, but I’ve had them before, and know I like them. Well, we used to go to Scottish Rite in
Dallas for various reasons pertaining to my cripness as a kid. When we’d go, we’d get the red eye flights
with the business types. During the
flight, they’d hand out little baggies of peanuts. I couldn’t have them, so Mom’d get me pistachios
from a kiosk at the airport.
Anyhoo, one
day, I found one of said little baggies, so I snatched, and ran to my room,
closed the door, and figured how to open the baggie at my brother’s desk to eat
them. Suddenly, Mom came in, saw what I
was doing, said, “I hope you don’t die,” and walked out. OMG, I was traumatized. After that, I never touched peanuts
intentionally again.
Fast forward
to the other day, there was a report of tests being done with pills to possibly, in the future, make it some
people with said peanut allergy be able to partake. Hmmm. Now.
According to the report I watched, the test subjects only got to where they
could eat two at most…that’s a tease, Man!
They also said approval for, I guess, marketed tests, is still a year
out. Wow.
I’ve heard
of some people being so allergic that kissing someone, who’d eaten peanuts, could
kill. Maybe this could become a
regularly taken vitamin
to go with your As, Bs, and Cs.
Until then,
I’ll just stick with my Almond Snickers, the best alternative to the original,
or my Milky Ways and 3 Musketeers.
But, it’s
food for thought.
Be good to
each other.
