But I am saying that where I live they're uncommon enough that nobody ever talks about it. My daughter is going to school next year for the first time; on the form (which I filled this morning) the question is in fact asked: does your child suffer from food allergies? But while the rest of the form is typed, this question has been added by hand at the very end of the form...

I know a guy suffers from red meat allergy. It's not that it would kill him, but it causes a reaction in headaches, soreness, tiredness, etc.

The joking expression goes "How do you know if one of your customers is a vegetarian? They'll let you know."
