I'm allergic to peanut butter. My friend gave me a peanut butter cookie on accident, and it's funny to see how everyone reacted.
"SPIT IT OUT, ERIK!"
"YOU'LL DIE IF YOU EAT TOO MUCH!"
"Okay, okay, eating a little bit won't hurt me."
"JUST SPIT IT OUT IN THIS BROWN PAPER BAG"
"In front of everyone???"
"RIGHT NOW."
....
"I'm sorry that I could have killed you!"
Sometimes, I wonder.

It is understandable. Some people have a mild allergy to it, they'll just get sick and throw up. However some people are highly allergic and they're throat possibly could swell up or worse. So it is understandable why they freaked out, they don't really understand if your allergy is severe or not.

True. It's not annoying or anything, but I love to see the reactions when I realize that I'm eating something I'm allergic to. It was all in good will.
