Seafood allergy...

I don't think I can say this any better than our chef, so here are her words...

"I had to take an absence with class today :( I'm feeling fine, but it was seafood day, and that turned out to be a problem.

Chef knew I was allergic, so we'd decided I was just going to cut up salmon all day since that's the only one I'm okay with. I figured I'd be okay, since I only get affected when I eat it. But, no. I got to class, took the quiz (so I at least get credit for the day) and then we started production. When I touched the halibut, I broke out into a rash. Then about 8:30, I was so nauseous I had to run out to the bathroom because I guess the smell was affecting me really bad. Chef told me that I'd made it through half the day, so I should just go."


Our poor girl can't catch a break! It will be interesting to see how she handles being part of an industry where she's allergic to the food!
