I have just accidentally ingested something containing cocoa. For those of you who don't know, I'm allergic to chocolate.

Don't panic; this is not an "omigawdI'mgonnadie" post. It was a small quantity, and thus far, chocolate has never triggered anything worse than skin irritation or congestion and sneezing.

Lacking any other antihistamines in the house, I have taken two Unisom, which has the same active ingredient as Benadryl. I will probably pass out within the hour.

Oooh. There's the first hint of the sinus headache.

Lesson for today: just because it's not a chocolate flavor of Pocky doesn't mean that it doesn't have ANY chocolate in it.

You're allergic to chocolate? Oh, you poor thing. I don't think I'd survive.

The first quarter-century is the hardest.

When did you find out you were allergic? Twenty-four years ago? :)

Eeek. Poor thing. :/ And not just for what you accidentally ate.

Feel better soon.

Death by Pocky would be embarrassing, so don't croak on us, okay?
