this is unironically my plan for tomorrow night.

Im allergic to shellfish and I discovered imitation crab from a meme (fittingly on Lemmy) which is only like 5% actual crab.

However, my allergy started as a kid and just got worse and worse till I eventually couldn't eat it at all anymore, it's been like 5 years.

Since we don't know if the allergy got to deadly levels in that time, I have to be around an epi-pen when I eat it.
My brother in law has one, so I'm going to his house after work.

I'll keep you updated ๐Ÿซก

edit, update 1: finished work for the day. headed to brother in laws house in about an hour! super excited.

edit 2: im so upset.

they were frozen last night so I actually left them to thaw overnight. I mentioned to my sister about how people said to microdoce it, so I only warmed up 1 in the microwave with some butter just in case I had a bad reaction.
When I ate it the texture was super chewy and slimy almost, not very fun. The flavor was hardly the real thing, and the worst part: IT GAVE ME A HEADACHE.
I am so distrought. My hopes were so high. it let me down:((

I might try microdoceing a quarter before bed or something for a couple weeks. Since it is only a headache I feel like I can work myself up to bigger parts - if I can sleep through the headaches that is.

at the end of the day It was a nice try and I'm glad I tried it :/

Have you considered immune tolerance therapy for your allergies or does it not apply in your case?

Flat-out lacking evidence & ignoring immunology, shitty guidelines in the UK & US to avoid exposure pretty much proliferated severe allergies uncommon elsewhere in the world. The peanut allergy study is only one example. For some allergies, there are therapies to safely reintroduce exposure & rebuild tolerance.

For your final immune test you will be submerged in a tank filled with a mixture of lobster bisque and peanut butter.

And stirred for a couple hours in near boiling temperature

That's not its final form though. Wait until they take their rubber bands off.
