Its a modern cancer on society, which I think is very sad
And I think its more than just travelling. It HAS bred a society of incapable, risk adverse, useless, self centred arsesoles. And many of them have various allergies which is now being suggested to be caused by being brought up in sterile environments. I can't remember the last time I got on a plane, and not been greeted with the warning that there was somebody with some allergy, so no consumption of <xyz> etc.
This one grips my sh!t somewhat... There are people with genuine allergies who could easily die as a consequence of someone else being selfish, as you well know. But there are a lot of people who claim allergies because it gives them “tummy ache” or, worse still, they just don’t like something. These people generate the attitude you have towards it and puts other people at risk
Aye. Technically, I have a gay allergy to Tomatoes and peanuts (only with alcohol), but they aren't going to cause any more than minor pains and a bit of sickness. So its not really an allergy, not in what I'd class a true sense.
Technically, I also have a million and one other allergies, the ones that give gout. Again, not real allergies, just minor reactions.
But the world is now full of the "look at me" type, watering down the view of allergic reactions in peoples mind, which can only make life harder for those that have real, non-gay allergies, that can/do lead to life threatening situations
But that all off topic.
