Hey hey y’all wish me luck I just realized after eating a piece of beef jerky that the ingredient list had vinegar in it! On the plus side, the beef jerky was really, really good and if I do have a reaction I can be pretty much certain it’s vinegar I’m allergic to. On the minus side, hives
#the person behind the yarn#I have had beef jerky before but I check and apparently our usual brand doesn't have vinegar in it#*checked#I really want to eat more of it but I recognize that that's not a good idea#I will wait until tomorrow and if I have no hives I will eat the rest of it#don't worry: vinegar was listed after salt and flavorings on the label so there's very very little of it#and as far as I can tell vinegar just gives me hives. the few times I've had like anaphylaxis I didn't have vinegar#don't know what caused the anaphylaxis except maybe the first time but I do know it wasn't vinegar#and other than the first time even the major allergic reactions weren't that bad#I apparently have very slow acting allergies which means I have a lot of time to get enough antihistamines and steroids so they aren't bad#I suddenly understand why lactose intolerant people still drink milk#that beef jerky is so so good and I am so tempted to eat more of it
