So for the first time ever I met someone else who shares my bizarre allergy.
Cinnamon - I love the stuff very festive and the like, but my tongue does`nt and eventually my skin says NO! too.
It is in everything hidden away as a preservative like fizzy juice, dark coloured alcohols (red wine but I still drink it from time to time - okay once a week!) Tomato ketchup, chinese 5 spice, shower gels and basically any thing that says benzoate on the label!
My more common allergy is nickel but thats easy as it only occurs in food in minute quantities like potato and chocolate.
So is any else allergic to anything? (there is NO prize for people saying work)
Right off to see if there is such a thing as "intentional tourettes"
