On Anyone Allergic To More Than Three Unrelated Items



We all new someone like this in junior high. The kid with hay-fever who couldn't drink milk and would break out in hives if he got within fifty feet from a cat. What the Hell is wrong with these people? Isn't natural selection supposed to weed out this sort of thing? Everybody is deathly allergic to something. What is going on? There are people who will drop stone dead if they walk into a room where someone has recently been eating a peanut butter sandwich! Send these people back to the gene pool! Since when have peanuts become a deadly toxin?

Shit wasn't this bad when I was a kid. When I was a kid, anybody with multiple allergies would just stop showing up for school, and no explanations would be given. "Jimmy won't be with us anymore." Parents are doing something to their kids that's pussifying their immune systems. Can't have peanuts, can't be near a cat, pollen gives them the sniffles, pus comes out their eyes if they eat fish from more than 10 miles to the south of the equator, they go into anaphylactic shock if you stare at them too hard. Christ! Maybe allergies are Nature's way of saying you aren't cut out for anything other than composting.
