“My friend is allergic to walnuts. One day, he made this sandwich in our college dorm. It had walnuts garnished on top of the bread. i then remember him telling me “oh look there’s walnuts on here” and proceeds to eat the entire sandwich. (At the time I didn’t know he was allergic). I leave to shower and when I come back there are two paramedics in our dorm taking him out on a stretcher. The following day I asked what happened to which he replies something along the line “I accidentally ate some walnuts which I’m allergic to, and by the time I went to get a Benadryl, my throat had started to close and I couldn’t swallow it so I had to call 911”. I was just utterly shocked how he even let this entire situation happen. I really couldn’t believe it. He had known there were walnuts on the bread and still ate it?! College days, am I right?

Edit: He knew he was allergic to walnuts but he’s very careless so ig it was one of those yolo moments. luckily I don’t think he did that ever again.”
