I've never had an Epi-Pen, but my mom is allergic to bees, so we do have one in the house. We need to get it refilled, because I think her latest Epi-Pen is circa 2002. (we keep it in the refrigerator...nice central location)

I might try to go see an allergist, because I was having some weird allergy-like symptoms a few years back. I'm pretty sure I was allergic to my dog towards the end of his life (he was a walking 100 pound ball of dandruff) and whatever about him that I was allergic to seemed to magnify my allergies to other things.

After TinyMonsters died, a lot of my weird food allergies went away. (I got hives if I ate anything with italian spices in it.) It was several months after he died, we'd had all the carpets cleaned, furniture cleaned that I noticed the allergy problems just went away. It was weird.

I'm not afraid to eat anything I thought I was allergic to, except the shellfish. That's a potentially deadly allergy if I am truly allergic, so I'm not going to try to test the theory that I might not be actually allergic. (and I have had hives after getting my food cross contaminated since the dog died, just not as often)

Yeah, it would be kind of fun to go into a restaurant that carries things we're both allergic to and then give the waiter all sorts of instruction on how to make the food and keep it allergen free. They'd probably just hand us a glass of water and a basket of crackers. (that's if neither of us are allergic to any flour or wheat in the crackers)
