So true! Even if it’s in your file they just automatically go for the latex stuff and act annoyed when you correct them.

I'm allergic to oranges, latex and i feel like im Burden and reluctant to speak up that i absolutely CAN NOT be exposed. My throat swells shut and people still "forget" and i feel unwanted, shunned unloved

I found out coming home with my children from a bday party they were sent home with balloons and had to pull over the car and quick get out. Traded cars with my husband he drove the car with the balloons in it and i drove the car with all our weeked away gear so i could continue breathing.
