death by allergies

It occured to me today as I drank my first can of Monster Energy that trying something new can be fatal, even if its not inherently dangerous, like running across a freeway, skydiving, or hammer a nail into your tongue.

You know how some people are allergic to peanuts? There was this story once about a girl who was kissed by her boyfriend that had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and she died after a violent allergic reaction. And the boyfriend? Well he didn't know.

So what if I am allergic to something? Lets say something I've never tried. How about all that crazy chemicals they put in these new energy drinks. I've never really tried energy drinks so I don't know what the hell are in them. This week though, I've drank like 4 Red Bulls and my first Monster Energy. Why? Well I been sleeping kinda late. Also I always wanted to try new things. They do take up a whole damn shelf in the 7-11 store so I figure they must be somewhat interesting.

I digress. So here I am, drinking the energy drink. Hoping that I sure as hell am not allergic to anything in it that I've never had before.

I know its unlikely, but still, I'd never had thought you could die from peanuts. srsly!
