I hate having a tree nut allergy.

It's severe to the point where if packaged food is processed on the same equipment as treenuts I can and have had anaphylactic reactions. It's worsened with age. I have to read every label. Most baked goods, candy, icecreams and what not I'm unable to have because of it. Even something stupid like cereal or hotdog buns I have to watch.

I feel like a pain in the ass going out to eat or at bakeries, coffee shops anywhere that sells food or drinks. For example on rare occasion I'll go to this smoothie shop. They have almond based things on their menu. Because of this I have to declare a new blender be used or else it's epi pen time. I don't go often because I feel like a burden and some kind of karen.

Allergies, and even intolerances, are an awful thing to have to deal with. My family has many which makes all things food a real challenge. My heart goes out to you.
