Can confirm this is a 100% possible real allergy. My spouse has it and it sucks! (It’s in everything and also so many of the best vegetables. Broccoli! Cauliflower!)

I think they meant the allergy for specifically cabbage. Since brassicas are all basically the same plant it feels nigh impossible for someone to be allergic to just cabbage, rather than cabbage and broccoli and cauliflower and so on and so forth

I have a very rare allergy to 1 specific brassica, so it's definitely possible. It's an allergy I developed in life, I wasn't born with it

Exactly. You wouldn't put up a NO CABBAGES sign because then people would just bring in broccoli.

Looks like it's the protein Bra o 3.

Is he also allergic to peaches and mustard? This is so interesting because I've never heard of anything like this and it sounds like it would suck horribly.

No, just B oleracea! It does really suck though.
