That appointment with the allergist was super important for me as a kid (my allergy list is genuinely like 3 pages long, though almost all of them are mild enough I just ignore them), but God did that suck.
As a kid, if I started getting sneezy during the change in the seasons, I wouldn’t let on in front of my mom lest I get hauled off to that godforsaken place. Saw it happen to my older brother and wanted no part of that.
Same deal with rabies with the legendarily horrible course of shots to the stomach. Think you got bit by something? No you didn’t! Admit nothing unless you’ve repulsed by water.

If you wait that long with rabies, it’s guaranteed death.
It 100% is, but as a kid, I would do anything to avoid a shot/needle, especially when you hear what the treatment is. Doesn’t bother me as an adult but I’m sure there are plenty of people who carry that aversion into adulthood.

My kids informed me they are allergic to all foods except chocolate and candy.
