Hello and welcome.

Hello and welcome to Colors of the Dark.

I'm your co-host Rebecca McKendry and with me on this rainy Wednesday evening.

Elric Kane, how you doing?

I survived the rain, a long drive in the rain.

It's always white knuckle stuff.

I had a long-outst drive too.

Oh, my God. And I survived. I joined you in the ranks of people who can die from food allergies this weekend. I was in the emergency because I ate food that obviously had some sort of shellfish, but you couldn't tell it. It did. I like to think that I'm communicable. Yeah, maybe it's you.

Maybe just being podcasting with you.

Eventually, you just become allergic to stuff if you're up.

11 years of hanging out with me, sitting next to me in movie theaters, traveling with me,

being on planes for long stretches.

It's catching.

And so welcome to your food allergy.

As soon as I got home from the emergency room, I went straight to peanut butter and I had a spoonful. And I was like, thank God, I can still do this. My glory, my happy place is your sad place. But obviously I can eat an entire lobster. So I'm just going to rub that in. I literally had shrimp for lunch today.

Well, I see, I've never had a, any time I've had shrimp, no effect. Anytime I've had even crab, weirdly enough. And so here, what lobster have had it and muscles, but this was like, people are guessing it might have been saying.

You've had this reaction twice now. Maybe. And you chose not to act on it until you were like on the floor covered in hives. These were like like, like, you have a couple red marks on your arm. So you're like, a big deal. That's that was, and I haven't had a saying like that in a few years. So this was like, this I didn't even see anything. It was just something in a sauce. I have to assume maybe oyster sauce is saying and I had red marks all

over my, it was intense. It didn't start messing with my throat or anything, but it was,

it was definitely weird. Yeah. I'm sure that the doctor explained this that each reaction will

get slightly worse because your body will get more hypersensitive to it until you're in full

antiphylaxis. So I get to carry your

EpiPen next time we're on the plane. I don't know how to get one yet. I asked the doctor and they seem kind of like shrug their show. I don't even know if they're a real doctor. They weren't dressed like other doctors. He looked like some dude. Did you go to an urgent care? I love urgent care. Those are where I walk in and I'm like, I have bronchitis.
