Re: There's no good side in this. I like wanks like that.
You know, I didn't know they made milk free chocolate. I'll have to see. I do know that high quality, high cocoa percentage dark chocolate is not as much of a problem, since there's a minimum of milk in that.

The level of my allergic reaction isn't as sever as yours, generally. It's more on the level of getting hives from dust allergies (which I also have 8D; ) : It agravates my asthma and fucks up my immune system. It's not as big a problem now that I'm older and my lungs are big enough to compensate and my general health is better, but I spent a lot of time being very sick when I was a kid because of it, until they figured out what was wrong with me (Halloween sucked). These days, I'm just careful to make sure what I do intake is limited, and if I'm sick, I'm viciously strict. And I stay rediculously far away from anything involving goat milk, since I react even worse to that stuff.

So, yeah. I had an uneasy truce with my allergies for a few years. But recently, as I said, I'm starting to react to the smell of milk chocolate. Nothing too serious right now, thankfully, but I'm not sure exactly what I should do if it starts getting worse. I suppose go visit a doctor for proper testing again. . ? Probably a good idea, since my familly also has a hereditary allergy to lobster lurking in there.

I'm always pissed when people don't take allergies seriously, though, or try and correct people who have them. Never mind some of us have been hospitalized or died from it. We're just ~overacting~. I do have fond memories of a tiny Pizza Hut that went out of their way to have one person, and only one person, make my pizza, on a clean surface, after having washed their hands, to do their best to minimize the cheese contamination. And I have a friend who's viciously allergic to stawberries and chocolate, and an icecremem parlour opened up a brand new bucket of vanilla just for him and seperatly washed a spoon so he could have his icecream without fear. So, there are really nice sorts out there, too.
