<snip>So far I haven't had an allergic reaction to anything I ate, but have had one to some medicine.<snip>

Having a food allergy that causes problems does not mean you see an overt allergic reaction after you eat a particular food.

True, some allergies to food are very subtle but debilitating to the person suffering.

Systemic reactions make it easy to target the food group, the subtle ones can be very difficult to target and avoid.

If you don't even have a mild reaction to something you aren't allergic to it. I just copied this directly from foodallergy.org.

Mild to moderate symptoms may include one or more of the following

    Hives (reddish, swollen, itchy areas on the skin)
    Eczema flare (a persistent dry, itchy rash)
    Redness of the skin, particularly around the mouth or eyes
    Itchy mouth or ear canal
    Nausea or vomiting
    Diarrhea
    Stomach pain
    Nasal congestion or a runny nose
    Sneezing
    Slight, dry cough
    Odd taste in mouth

Severe symptoms may include one or more of the following

Swelling of the lips, tongue, and/or throat that blocks breathing

    Trouble swallowing
    Shortness of breath or wheezing
    Turning blue
    Drop in blood pressure (feeling faint, confused, weak, passing out)
    Loss of consciousness
    Chest pain
    A weak or “thready” pulse
    Sense of “impending doom”

I've read Sun Tzu several times, and occasionally watch the "news" on TV to know my enemy... and have to ask myself, "am I in a frigging parallel universe?, or am I really wrong?"

They are not necessarily mutually exclusive, Les.  ;D

But yeah...I always figured there were two basic types of liberals:  Crooks and Stupid.  But I have found there is a third:  Insane.

And there's a large dose of overlap between the three too.
