[Sca-cooks] Food Allergies

[Huette von Ahrens]

That is not entirely true, Phlip!

I am allergic to capsicom peppers.  I have developed
this allergy recently and it isn't due to any lack of
enzymes.  Yes, my first symptoms are diarrhea, but if
I persist on eating them, I then develop a rash and
then blisters on my legs.  I have seen an allergist.
He says that I have an allergy.  So be careful what
you say.  You are spreading misinformation.

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they
shall never cease to be amused.
