How cashews almost killed me - General

If you don't want to read about my crappy day at school, just skip this and go to where I started feeling sick. This all started when I was having a real crappy day at school. I didn't get much sleep, for various reasons of stress. I went to school, was nearly late. First period, I got a really large assignment only the second week into the second semester. Second period, I have walking for fitness. After walking around for an hour, I was tired and exhausted. Exhausted because I was fast walking the entire time. I was the third person out of 30 people to get back first. Third period, nothing bad happened. Just math, wasn't that boring, wasn't that exciting. Fourth period, I went to Chemistry. Seats were moved, again, only after being moved around a week prior. First day of second semester they changed. I was sitting by someone I worked well with, and then when our seats changed I wasn't sitting next to anyone. After that, we got 2 tests to do in class. After that, I got to lunch late. I usually get there a little bit early to guarantee me a decent lunch. I barely got one of the last decent pieces of pizza. I grabbed a green apple so I can try to balance out my lunch. After I purchased this pizza, I had only $1 left in my account. Shortly after I left, I dropped my pizza face first (cheese/sauce first). I couldn't buy more lunch, and I couldn't eat this pizza. I was so pissed that I threw my apple down as hard as I could. It literally exploded. Now I have no pizza and no apple. With the remaining money in my account, I bought a small-ish bag of Kirkland cashews from the student store. I ate them, and within minutes my throat started hurting. It felt inflamed. Soon after, I reported this and they sent me to the nurses office. They looked at my throte, it was a lot redder than it should look. The office lady, the nurse wasn't even here, sent me home. While I was waiting, my stomach hurt really bad and I felt like I was going to vomit. If only I did. My step-mom picked me up from school, I told her that I thought I was having an allergic reaction to cashews, but she pretty much ignored me. Said "no computer for the day" and I was like wtf. I usually get to go on my computer when I'm sick, she probably thought I was faking or something. About an hour after, I got all puffy and red, then I got extremely itchy. She put some benadryl gel on me, and I put some more on as well. I took a swig of some cold medicine, and had a couple of pills. She drove me down to the local clinic after she called and got no response. We went to the clinic, and we got some proper care pretty quickly. They injected me with epinephrine and that seemed to help. They gave me some pure oxygen and that seemed to help as well. They hooked me up to this breathing machine, it was an asthma treatment. After that was done, I could breath virtually perfectly. They gave me another shot, this time benadryl. Soon they had an ambulance take me to the hospital for observation because the clinic was closing soon. With all the meds I took, I was really sleepy. So I was falling asleep on the way there, and while I was there. They ran some tests, and I was able to go home about 2 hours from when I got there. The redness and bumps were gone, I was no longer itchy, I felt good. They wrote a subscription for some epinephrine shots and some other pills that I should be taking for the next couple of days. The doctors say I shouldn't eat any nut that grew from a tree. Nuts that grow from the ground, like peanuts, are fine.

Glad to see that you'll live to see another day.

Ouch, that must have sucked. I seen a friend have an extreme allergic reaction to peanuts. It's some scary shit.

surprised you didn't know about it already, most people do by the time they reach 10

That sucks man I feel for you.

<3 Bloo. :saddowns:

I love cashews. But yeah, was that the first time you'd ever eaten them?

That was hard to read because of the lack of paragraphs, however you're lucky that you noticed it and said something on time.

[QUOTE=erazor;19996748]I love cashews. But yeah, was that the first time you'd ever eaten them?[/QUOTE] I ate some about 9, more or less, years ago. I threw them up. Maybe I ate a few more over time, but not many. This is the only time I ate a whole lot, aside from the time I threw up half my life ago. I wasn't thinking of this when I ate the cashews.

Your step mom's a bitch. "Mom, I'm obviously having an extreme allergic reaction to something I ate." "Let's put some benadryl on it, and completley ignore it until you get some more painful symptoms."

Hey, we're nut allergy buddies. Except mine aren't as bad u:hf:me

That sucks mate, allergies are a pain in the ass. Or for you, a pain in the throat :v: I'm glad your better.

Where's the death?

Aww nuts.

You were perscribed epinephrine? awesome!

[QUOTE=Enhanced_AI;19996677]Glad to see that you'll live to see another day.[/QUOTE] Hahaha, all those disagrees. :buddy: I'm glad too.

I was eating a can of planters cashews while reading this.

[QUOTE=bloocobalt;19996658]They wrote a subscription for some epinephrine shots and some other pills that I should be taking for the next couple of days.[/QUOTE] Can't let this go, it's a prescription.

[QUOTE=Jund;19999181]Are you obese?[/QUOTE] Power walking can be exhausting. I walk to school in 15-20 minutes each morning and my school is about a mile and a quarter away. He could've walked about 3-4 miles in an hour. It doesn't make him obese. FYI I walk to and from school everyday, walk about half that and back every lunchtime, play football twice a week and go to the gym twice a week. Walking can still be a tiring excercise.

[QUOTE=Enhanced_AI;19996677]Glad to see that you'll live to see another day.[/QUOTE] Whoever disagree's with him is a complete douche. Go die pls.

[QUOTE=Jund;19999181]Are you obese?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=bloocobalt;19996658]Exhausted because I was fast walking the entire time.[/QUOTE] He was walking fast, which can get you exhausted pretty easily. If he was obese he would have stopped at 15 mins and died.

Only way to solve your ailment is to fuck your step mom.

[QUOTE=Santz;19999480]He was walking fast, which can get you exhausted pretty easily. If he was obese he would have stopped at 15 mins and died.[/QUOTE] Seriously, what kind of gym class is walking? I would understand if you had to hike up a steep mountain for 30 minutes, but walking? I had track last term, we had to sprint for 10 minutes straight. Even if you got tired you still had to jog.

Good to see you're okay, honey<3
