My Mom was highly allergic to tomatoes. She had to be extremely careful because there's tomato in so many different foods. Mom's reactions were so extreme that she would have a reaction if she got the juice on her hand while slicing one. If Mom ate something with tomato, even a minimal amout of ketchup in a meatloaf, she would break out in hives internally. Scary.

Food alergies are very serious and can have devastating effects. After seeing Mom's problems with tomatoes, I understand this is something that MUST be taken seriously! To those of you with these allergies, please be very careful don't hesitate to ask what is in something you'd like to try.
