ok we are on semantics here so i accept your definition, the allergist told
me there are several definitions of "allergy' and allergic' his definition
is the broader it affects you physically in some way that is negative, this
is not nessarily a hystamine reaction...

if you remember that treatment for that pineapple i sure would spent the
money to try that on a pinapple, they make me uncomfortable and blister me
but i don't get a migraine/swelling from them so it would be worth trying as
i do like them and would love to eat raw.
