Most patients have been asked the question, Are you allergic to anything? It is not surprising clinicians then get a wide range of answers, such as bee stings, peanuts, dust mites and all sorts of weird and wonderful potential toxins. I must have asked the question thousands of times as a doctor myself and its normally in the context of are you allergic to any pills or medicines. I recently asked a young man if he was allergic to anything and he said, “fruit and vegetables” to which I replied, “that’s maybe why you have scurvy then” which he essentially did. Now it was light-hearted banter and well given and received on both sides but it got me thinking on a number of fronts.
