[Sca-cooks] allergies, was moretum

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

well, since the onion and garlic are close relatives, most of us who have
the one allergy have the other...
i am allergic to *raw* onion, but cooking it means i can eat it, but garlic
is a no no , cooked or raw <sigh>
seems to be a sulfer compound allergy of some kind

of everyone i have met with a true allergy to cigarette smoke, (not asthma)
its running about 80% that they also have some degree of allergy to garlic
or onion.

i met a lady who said she was allergic to garlic and onions and got a rep
for being almost psychic when i told her i bet she was allergic to cigarette
smoke, roofing tar, and possibly some corn products......

When I was a college student, my parents had a big party at the house.  One
gentleman guest (who happened to be Jewish) asked if I knew about what was
in the various dishes.  I did, as I helped to prepare many of them.  The man
was allergic to both onions and garlic.
