    I'm allergic to a lot of fruit, especially strawberries, but a ton other. I am also allergic to Diphenhydramine HCl a k.a. Benadryl

      Being allergic to Benadryl is tough! Everyone loves to use that one. I know with Zyrtec, Claritin, Allegra, and such at least you've got a fair amount of other choices. Strawberries are probably some of my favorite foods. Hopefully you don't have to worry about that issue too much!

      The principles of medicine are all the same no matter the specialty! I’m glad you enjoyed the explanation a bit 😁

    I'm allergic to poultry and egg yolk. I could eat all that until i was 18, then i became allergic. I wonder why. I had to use an epi pen once. Ive taken just benadryl before also. I miss chicken.

      It's surprising how allergies can suddenly appear later in life. This often happens due to the immune system becoming sensitized after repeated exposure. Fun fact about egg allergies: many flu shots are made using chicken eggs, so folks have to use alternatives for that. Glad to hear you're managing your allergy, despite missing eggs!

      @@Med_Ed_Prep yes, I'm aware. I've never had a flu shot. I got the shingles vaccine last year because my mom had it.
