Hey now you leave the cheese and wine out of this! Who hates a good charcuterie board!
I love a good charcuterie board, as did my lady. Sadly, her guts did not appreciate that brie or gouda quite as much.

Despite what the Brazilian Fart Porn industry would have us believe, it's hard to feel like a classy, cosmopolitan woman when you're holding in gruesome cheese farts.

don't know if is something an autopsy could reveal, but looks like his allergy is unknown

Neither his doctors nor his family know what caused the fatal reaction, according to a representative for Chiarello’s company Gruppo Chiarello.

Chiarello’s family was not aware of any allergies he might have had, the Gruppo Chiarello representative told USA TODAY, but he was home when the reaction occurred. It’s still unknown what he was doing at the time of his reaction.

Isn't one of the biggest culprits because they told women not to eat peanuts when Prego?
They also did a thing where they told parents not to give kids peanuts for about a decade. They reversed it because peanut allergies doubled from that experiment. They now tell you to give it to them early. Our pediatrician told us about it and suggested actually touching his skin to peanuts at first then give him some to taste while in the waiting room on a future appointment so if he did have a reaction we could get it taken care of immediately.

You could confirm the person died of anaphylaxis, but there isn’t a test that tells you what a person was allergic to after they’re dead as far as I know.

This was my ex - she convinced herself that she had an allergy to gluten, and tried all those fad diets that were all the rage a few years back. When none of them actually worked, I managed to get her to see a gastroenterologist who confirmed that she did not have celiac disease. She just had a case of lactose intolerance.

Unfortunately, she loved the idea of herself as a sophisticated woman of the world, the kind that nibbles on a tray of fancy cheeses with a glass of red wine after work. The gluten-free trend fed right into that self-image. Suddenly, both those were taken away and she was just a normal middle-aged lady who had to watch her dairy intake lest she fart up a storm.
Gluten is a grain protein. Why would she have to cut out cheese and red wine?

I love seeing meats labeled as "gluten free".

Gluten free had become such a fad that they estimated 2/3rds or more of people buying gluten free products had no gluten intolerance issues. "But it says gluten free! gluten must be bad for you!"

She didn't actually have celiac disease - she just thought she did, in part because it was trendy. Her stomach pains and digestive issues were because she was lactose intolerant.

I saw bottles of plain water labeled as "fat free". Not sugar free (to prove that's water, not soda), but FAT free.

You can also correlate a rise in childhood allergies to all the food additives they start stuffing our foods in the late 80s and 90s.

"Chiarello died Friday at Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa due to an allergic reaction that resulted in anaphylactic shock, according to Chiarello’s restaurant group Gruppo Chiarello. He had been at the hospital receiving treatment for the allergic reaction over the past week. Details on how he developed the allergic reaction were not immediately available."

So i ate mushroom broth in raamen when i was 25 or so, by accident and i am severly allergic to mushrooms. Even after the initial reaction which was brought under control i was in the hospital for 4 days due to it, its not a joke.

This must have been food related and accidental, its hard to go to restaurants as it is, being a celeb chef and everyone is trying to show you how good they are is going to lead to accidents. Hell it almost happened to be in Chicago last week.
The sauce is to die for Chef!
The next day....

Yeah. My wife has tore up pasta and bread her whole life. Gluten trend comes out and now it’s a problem. She says it’s the gluten that bloats her. She has no medical diagnosis of this she just knows it. Ok whatever, eat the pizza crust that tastes like cardboard I guess.

On a related note I was out in Tempe a few years ago and went to a bar on campus. It was all college kids, and they were hanging out with us old folks. When a new college girl would come over and start talking with the other college girls they were literally introducing themselves with how allergic to gluten they were, and what level of celiac they had. It struck me as “wtf who opens with that” but it was completely normal to them. They all did it, it was wild.

People can also develop allergies later in life, it isn’t always some “from birth thing”.

This. I know a guy who had no issues with bee stings his whole life and then one day in his mid-60's he gets stung by a bee and can barely make it to the hospital and he collapsed in the hospital waiting room. It's happened to him two more times since and now he has to carry an epi-pen with him wherever he goes. It kind of freaks me out because I live 50 miles from a hospital and I've come to terms with the idea that I might be screwed if I have a heart attack or something but I hate the idea that some insect might kill me because I randomly became allergic to it.

do you have fire dept/rescue and/or helicopter pad nearby?
how close is a dollar general?
took a trip a while back and instead of taking the normal route went through rural farm lands in the valley. about 100 miles of nothing, but a dollar general every 15 miles. got bored and had my gps open to display all medical places. for about the whole the trip, closest was 25miles (as the bird flies) which probably meant 60 mins or more as have to drive over a small mountain.

The fucking dollar stores are out of control. Every town around here has one. The closest one to me is about 45 miles though. Same for medical facilities of any kind. We have a volunteer fire department that's maybe 18 miles away but they're not paramedics. They do have defibrillators now though which is pretty cool. I went to the training for how to use them and they are surprisingly easy to use. They're almost to the point where people should start having one in their house for emergencies like a fire extinguisher.
