A woman who has had allergy issues “straight out of the womb” shared that almost anything she eats could be deadly, and she struggles to live a normal life.
Almost anything Mia Silverman eats could be deadly — and she struggles to live a normal life as an “outcast.”
Silverman’s sprawling list of allergies includes peanuts peanut oil; tree nuts and their oils, including almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts and macadamia; all seeds and their oils, aside from sunflower seeds, including chia seeds, flax seeds and sesame seeds; monosodium glutamate; eggs; butter; cream — and flavorings and colorings.
A woman who has had allergy issues “straight out of the womb” shared that almost anything she eats could be deadly.Some of the less common allergies she suffers from are chocolate, coffee, saffron, lupine, certain red food dyes, milk, cheese, tarragon, sumac, tahini, za’atar, eggplant, zucchini, annatto, carotene, red wine and paprika.
“I really struggled in school and my mental health suffered. I faced a lot of bullying all the way to high school,” she said. “I’m better now, but when I was a kid, it was really difficult — always having the fear that anything I ate could potentially kill me.” She’s also struggled to live a “normal” life, having to deals with restaurants and supermarkets that don’t tend to her specific needs.
“The shots they gave me did nothing to get rid of allergies, I just gained brand-new ones,” she said. “Every time I have to be shot with the EpiPen, it’s so painful and traumatizing. It’s not just a shoot of pain and it’s over — it affects me for the rest of the day and wipes me out to the point where I have to spend all day in bed.”
