i’m gonna mcfreak out
i’m allergic to raw onion. it’s an insanely hard allergy to live with. my throat closes up even smelling it sometimes, and based on my genetics it’s only going to get worse with age.
i have several safe restaurants i can order from. ones that never serve onions in their dishes or have the option to exclude them altogether. one of these places is a poke place i order from quite frequently. tonight i thought i wanted to try a sushi burrito instead of a regular poke bowl. this was my order:
- spicy tuna
- spicy salmon
- cucumber
- sweet corn
- edamame
- hijiki seaweed
- cilantro
NONE of these products have onion in them. i know bc ive checked. several times. and when they are in poke bowl form they have never given me onion. but this is the SECOND TIME i ordered a sushi burrito from this place and they have given me strips of raw, uncooked onion.
i swallowed three bites before i realised what had happened and now im freaking out. now i get to ply the game ‘what is my allergic reaction and what is my anxiety disorder’. i dont want to go into anaphylaxis. i dont want to take my hydroxzine. it doesnt make me feel human. i hate it. it’s either that or a large ED bill so i guess ill take the depersonalization for several hours.
i feel like even if i contacted the store nothing would happen. i’m so upset. this is the worst allergy to have.
