10 Terrifying Reactions to Seemingly Normal Foods



There are issues we need to be wary of, like overindulging, and food allergies, and safety in terms of food prep. But even the most wary and responsible among us would be unlikely to have seen any of these bizarre reactions to food coming.

  1. The nut allergy thing has never surprised me. I work in a blood bank, and we used to have a patient (we didn't kill him, for the record – his bone marrow gave out) who had terrible allergies to a lot of things, and nuts were just one on a long list. He used to get bad hives most of the time when he got plasma, and our medical director used to just sigh and say that it was probably from someone who ate nuts or nut butter before donating. She told his care team to premedicate him with Benadryl before any transfusions because his reactions were so frequent.

  2. When I was growing on my app say year 1995 and we made popcorn at home when he was dead and out on the way with oil and the dogs licking cardinals etc. got our first CD player in 1994 and her first VHS in 1997

  3. I lack the the genes required for metabolising ethanol so cannot consume anything with alcohol, includes tiny % from medicines to alcohol, anything that could slightly ferment e.g. apple juice and cannot have alcohol in cooking etc.
    I've twice been rushed to hospital due to reactions from cough syrup, nearly died more times than I count from friends and family who think "it'll burn off in cooking" is the same as alcohol free. Also find out some alcohol free beer has very small %ethanol. I find out the hard way every time.

  4. Your last sentence is very wrong. "Allergies" cannot be transmitted. What was transmitted in the semen were the "allergens," i.e. the proteins from the food that triggers the allergy. You cannot become allergic to something because of sex. You can have an allergic reaction to something your partner ate — if you’re already allergic to that food.

    So, no, Simon. There are no sexually transmitted allergies. You need to remove this medical misinformation from your video.

  5. That last one wasn't a sexually transmitted allergy at all. I expected you to say that he developed the allergy after having sex with the girl that did have the allergy. Some of the nut made it into his nut and she had a reaction.

  6. 3:10 that kind liquorice should be treated as a blood pressure raising medicine. (We Dutchies like it a lot, and doctors actually advice it for this purpose for people with low blood pressure sometimes).
    And everything in moderation; a pound or two dauly of it for weeks is absolutely ridiculous.

  7. No.6 sounds akin to the bacteria Bacillus Cereus*, once it's done its' thing on your food, you can'd get rid of the toxins, so as a result, you're in for a "cereus" time on the throne, if not worse… 😛

    (*sounds like Serious)

  8. No one twice to swap out escolar for tuna. They are completely different fish and they look/taste completely different. People do call escolar "white tuna", which is a misnomer. I have never been a big fan of escolar – diarrhea or not.

  9. Goldfish also have thiaminase which makes them a horrible feeder for other animals combine with their high fat that can lead to fatty liver diseases in addition to b vitamin deficiencies

  10. "Hyponatremia — hypo, meaning lack of, natr, referring to sodium, and emia, meaning in blood. Hyponatremia: lack of sodium in blood". The phrase sounds familiar . . . . Anybody know where I might have heard that one? I think it had to do with a person who ate copious quantities of natural black licorice . . . .

  11. More famously, improperly prepared cassava can still contain residual cyanide. That must have resulted in quite a lot of illness and death before people figured out the right way to prepare it.
