Thought it'd be cute to order seafood on a first date. Halfway through the meal, face swells up like a balloon. Date ends with a romantic ride... to the hospital. Got a shot, a big bill, and probably no second date. Who knew scallops could wage war on my immune system?

There's a certain irony to seafood being both a romantic choice and a common allergen. Shellfish allergies can develop at any age, surprisingly even if you've had no problem with them before. It's always advised to carry antihistamines if you're venturing into the treacherous waters of unknown cuisine. Take this experience as a learned lesson and consider more 'landlubber' fare on future dates.

Oh no! 😱 Totally feel your pain, had my own date disaster once but nothing this extreme. If your date doesn't give you a second chance after this, then maybe they're not the one? Silver lining – you'll never forget this story, and it'll be a hit at parties for years to come!

That’s rough, but it's super important to get tested for allergies if you're trying out new foods like shellfish. Could be a matter of life and death, you know? Glad you got treated in time. Maybe take your next date to an allergy clinic instead of a seafood restaurant. Jk, hope you have better luck next time!
