The article features comments from individuals discussing the unpredictability of food allergies. One commenter advises caution to someone boasting about having no allergies, recounting their own sudden allergy to black pepper and peaches. Another shares a frightful experience of an allergic reaction after consuming an identical granola bar magnifying the unpredictability of the body’s reactions. These experiences highlight the importance of being aware that allergies can develop at any point in life, potentially endangering previously safe food items.
"Careful with that flex. I, too, wasn't allergic to anything until a few years ago and now can't eat any black pepper or peaches without severe hives. The allergist said one day your body just decides it has had enough and starts rejecting it."
"Yup! One time, I had a granola bar in the morning (the Quaker Chewy bars), and then 12 hours later, I ate one on the way home from work, and my tongue swelled up, and I ended up going to the ER. Same brand, flavor, and box as the one I ate in the morning, but at some point during my shift, my body noped out."
