Not exactly the foodstream (though that is problematic), but in my experience some people are just effing clueless. Namely:
- If I think I might have eaten an allergin, telling me to stop worrying is not helpful.
- If there is only a little, I still can't eat it.
- I also had someone tell me once: 1st there are no nuts, 2nd there is only a sprinkling of nuts on the top 3rd we'll just scrape them off. (In her defense, I might have been the first person with severe allergies she'd ever had to deal with.)
Allergies also make it far more complicated to travel. Theres a reason "I am allergic to..." is on my shortlist of foreign phrases to learn first. And they're a reason I keep fussing about food labels at potlucks...
